The Las Vegas Strip. June often brings gloom for gaming stocks. (Image: LA Times<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wednesday marks the start of the sixth month of the year, and with it arrives an often ominous stretch for shares of casino operators. Of the 25 worst-performing S&P 500 members in the month of June over the past decade, eight, or nearly a third, are travel and leisure names. Of those eight, half are casino stocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That quartet is comprised of, in alphabetical order, Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR), Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS), MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM)<\/a>, and Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN). With average June losses of 2.91% and 2.30%, respectively, over the past decade, Wynn and Caesars are the second- and third-worst offenders in the S&P 500 in the sixth month of the year, according to Schaeffer\u2019s Investment Research.<\/p>\n

Wynn Resorts has been one of the worst stocks to own in June on the S&P 500 Index (SPX), looking back over the past 10 years. The shares have averaged a June loss of 2.9%, and finished the month higher just three times over the last decade,\u201d<\/strong> according to the research firm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Should Wynn\u2019s dubious June trend hold up this year, it would add to what\u2019s already a year-to-date loss of 23.26%. But the gaming stock<\/a> did jump 3.47% last week.<\/p>\n

Caesars no June Gaming Stock Star, Either<\/h2>\n

As noted above, Caesars is no June peach, either. Shares of the Harrah\u2019s operators posted losses in the final month of the second quarter in seven of the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe casino stock has had a dismal 2022 thus far, down\u00a045.5% year-to-date. The shares are also now sitting well below their 80-day moving average, which has been pressuring the security lower since November. Though CZR is now bouncing off an annual low of $42.59, it\u2019s struggling to break past the $52 level,\u201d notes Schaeffer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\n

To the point about the $52 area, things could be getting interesting for Caesars, because the stock closed at $51.60 last Friday on the back of a 3% weekly gain. Analysts remain bullish on the<\/a> Horseshoe operator, with 10 rating it a \u201cbuy\u201d or better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The rub there is that if the sell-side reveals newly lowered ratings on the stock, it\u2019d likely come under more pressure. Conversely, options data suggest traders are positive on the name.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is per CZR\u2019s 50-day call\/put volume ratio of 3.08 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which sits higher than all annual readings. In other words, there has been a healthier-than-usual appetite for long calls of late,\u201d adds Schaeffer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

LVS Nothing to Brag About in June, Either<\/h2>\n

Shares of Las Vegas Sands are down 8% year-to-date \u2013 a loss that\u2019s mostly attributable to Macau travel restrictions and speculation that operators there are struggling with debt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The gaming stock averages a June decline of 2.09% over the past 10 years, good for the fourth-worst showing among S&P 500 members. It\u2019s possible that things could be different this year for Sands and Wynn if China decides to scrap its zero COVID-19 policy and allow for freer travel into Macau.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MGM averages a June loss of 0.36% — not nearly as bad as its aforementioned gaming stock brethren — but enough to be among the 25 worst S&P 500 performances in the sixth month of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
