Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

The revenue and EBITDA decline confirm ongoing softness in Macau mass market and non-gaming segments. The refinancing and partial debt redemption are credit-positive but do not offset the operational deterioration. Monitor Q3 2026 for stabilization in mass market drop and non-gaming revenue; further weakness would pressure the stock toward its recent lows.

Executive Summary

Studio City reported Q2 2026 results with total operating revenues of $164.6M, down 13.4% YoY from $190.1M, driven by softer mass market table games and lower non-gaming revenues. Net loss attributable to the company widened to $15.6M ($0.08/ADS) from $3.7M ($0.02/ADS) in Q2 2025, and Adjusted EBITDA fell 12.2% to $67.0M from $76.4M. The revenue decline and widening losses are the headline story, though the company refinanced $350M of 7.000% notes with lower-cost 6.125% notes and partially redeemed $165M of 6.500% notes post-quarter, modestly improving the credit profile.
