The revenue dropped by 78% to $370.5 million year-over-year for Q3 2020. While the losses per share increased to $7.04 from the prior quarter’s $6.14.
During the third quarter, almost all the properties of the company were open for the most period, yet the results were not encouraging due to restrictions.
However, looking onto the brighter side, the vaccine new has created a positive room for the stock market. The company itself has made major development in the design of Crystal Pavilion in Macau, attracting more tourists in the future.
Moreover, the Encore Boston Harbor that was opened in mid-2019 has shown good performance and has promising prospects going forward. The gambling firm is also planning to step forward and open a casino in Japan.
