JPMorgan wrote in a research report the “Divergence” in Macau casino stocks and their operations. In the absence of an industry catalyst, the broker will continue to focus on "bottom-up" analysis to find industry leaders.

The broker listed MGM CHINA (02282.HK) and WYNN MACAU (01128.HK) as its major Overweight stocks, with the target price of the former raised to $18 from $17, and the target price of the latter elevated to $10.5 from $9.
