LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP

Las Vegas Sands

Las Vegas Sands is the world's largest operator of fully integrated resorts, featuring casino, hotel, entertainment, food and beverage, retail, and convention center operations. The company owns the Venetian Macao, Sands Macao, Londoner Macao, Four Seasons Hotel Macao, and Parisian Macao, as well as the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore. We expect Sands to open a fourth tower in Singapore in 2031. Its Venetian and Palazzo Las Vegas assets in the US were sold to Apollo and Vici in 2022. After the sale of its Vegas assets, the company generates all its EBITDA from Asia, with its casino operations generating the majority of sales.

A majority of Americans are ready to light up, not just in lounges or at home but also in the heart of casino resorts.
A new <a href="https://www.unlv.edu/president/initiatives/cannabis-policy-institute">survey</a> from the Cannabis Policy Institute at the University of Nevada Las Vegas found that 70% of respondents support allowing cannabis use in casino resorts, either through designated lounges or smoking areas. The findings arrive amid renewed debate over Nevada&#8217;s legal separation between gaming and cannabis, a firewall increasingly seen as outdated by both industries.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What The Data Shows</h3>
The CPI study surveyed 620 U.S. adults over the age of 21. Key takeaways:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>70% support some form of cannabis consumption at casino resorts.</li>
<li>68% favor having cannabis-smoking rooms in hotels, similar to tobacco-smoking rooms.</li>
<li>40% said they would be more likely to gamble at a resort that allowed cannabis use.</li>
<li>58% said their gambling behavior would not change with cannabis consumption.</li>
<li>25% said they would gamble more; 18% said less.</li>
</ul>
Roughly a third of respondents admitted to having consumed cannabis while gambling, mostly "less than half the time." Even so, two-thirds said they had never combined the two activities.
The study, characterized by researchers as exploratory, was designed to inform a broader discussion about whether evolving public opinion—and the rise of cannabis tourism—warrants a policy shift in Nevada's regulatory approach.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s At Stake In Las Vegas</h3>
Cannabis consumption is legal in Nevada, but state law prohibits its use in casinos or related properties. The CPI report, produced in conjunction with Assembly Bill 203, urges a formal dialogue between the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the state's Cannabis Compliance Board.
One rationale for the firewall has been a presumed risk that cannabis use might reduce gambling activity. The CPI found no supporting data for this assumption, suggesting instead that further research is needed to fully understand behavioral correlations.
If legislative and regulatory frameworks evolve, Nevada could become a pioneer in integrating cannabis into its hospitality sector, potentially reshaping Las Vegas as a global destination for cannabis-friendly entertainment.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Next?</h3>
Nevada lawmakers are expected to consider the CPI&#8217;s findings alongside AB203, which mandates academic input into future cannabis-gaming regulations.
Meanwhile, the disconnect between law and consumer behavior is already playing out: cannabis remains banned on the Strip, but illicit delivery persists. A regulated system could enhance safety, drive tax revenue, and reflect evolving public sentiment.

Shares of travel and leisure stocks are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could reduce economic uncertainty that has been clouding travel and spending outlook.

Las Vegas Sands's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.8% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.54 million shares sold short, which is 5.29% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.26 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Las Vegas Sands has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Las Vegas Sands's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Las Vegas Sands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.72%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.

Las Vegas Sands's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.84% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 18.47 million shares sold short, which is 5.0% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Las Vegas Sands has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Las Vegas Sands's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Las Vegas Sands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.26%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
