JPMorgan commented in its research report that Macau recorded in June exceptionally strong GGR that surpassed expectations. The city's GGR surged by 19% YoY to MOP21.1 billion, far exceeding the market consensus, which was already lifted, by 9%.

The broker further broke this outstanding result into three aspects. Firstly, this result indicated a recovery to 88% of pre-pandemic levels, the highest recovery rate since the pandemic (compared to 79% in FY24 or 76% in 1Q25).

Secondly, the average daily GGR in June reached MOP702 million, higher than May's MOP684 million (a 3% MoM growth), despite the usual seasonal pattern suggesting a high single-digit MoM percentage decline.

Thirdly, this result even surpassed the most optimistic market forecasts (12% YoY growth).

The broker's stock picks were: MGM CHINA (02282.HK) and GALAXY ENT (00027.HK) (top picks) > SANDS CHINA LTD (01928.HK) > WYNN MACAU (01128.HK) > Melco Resorts & Entertainment (MLCO.US) > SJM HOLDINGS (00880.HK) > MELCO INT'L DEV (00200.HK).
