The sleeper story is Singapore hitting the higher tax tier - they're now paying premium taxes and still printing money, proving this property has officially broken the government's revenue assumptions. Yes, everyone sees the record $806M quarter, but the real insight is they triggered this in July and barely blinked. Meanwhile, Macao's margin collapse tells the real competitive story - 390bps compression despite revenue growth means the promotional war is expensive and ongoing. Rob's farewell honesty was refreshing: 'Can it go to 3.2, 3.3, 3.4? I just don't know.' The binding constraint in Singapore is approaching capacity limits; in Macao it's promotional efficiency. My view changes if Macao margins stabilize above 30% or Singapore's tax impact proves more punitive than $44M quarterly.
The 30-second version
- Singapore hit the higher tax tier mid-quarter - and they're STILL printing money
- Macao margins collapsed 390bps to 28.9% despite revenue growth - the promotional war is real
- Rob's farewell tour included zero guidance on Singapore's ceiling
