Speculative idea: stock options on Las Vegas Sands with 242% upside potential
What's the idea? Tourist traffic to Macau continues to grow, with 57% more passengers traveling on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau route in the first five months of 2024 compared to the same period last year. On 30 June 2024, the Chinese authorities opened a bridge between Shenzhen and Zhongshan in Guangdong Province, improving accessibility to Macau from mainland China and boosting the economic prospects of the Greater Bay Area. Las Vegas Sands exceeded its Q1 2024 guidance on key financial metrics. Given the positive passenger traffic dynamics in Macau, this scenario is likely to be repeated in Q2, which could lead to a positive revaluation of the company's shares. We recommend buying CALL options on LVS stock with a strike price of $45 and an expiration date of 20/09/2024. The option will cost around $2.70, while one contract will cost around $270 as options are traded for 100 shares.
