“We gather the aforementioned was due to MBS being allowed to increase operating capacity from 25% to 50% from 18 Sep 2020. “We also gather that MBS casino was also open to all guests from 9 Oct 2020. It was previously open only to Sands Rewards members,” says Yin. MBS’ planned expansion is going to be deferred, due to the on-going pandemic. Genting Singapore’s too, similarly, is likely to be deferred too. As such, pressure will ease on Genting Singapore’s FY2020 and FY2021’s cash flow, thereby giving the company more room to pay a dividend despite the business hit from the pandemic, says Yin. As at 9.25am, Genting Singapore was trading at 87 cents.
