Las Vegas Sands stock holds after analysts keep a hold rating
Published on 08/21/2026 at 17:49 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (US51669R1077) holds a $29.79 billion market value after closing at $45.98 on August 20, 2026, while analysts still show a consensus Hold view and an average target of $61.88.
MarketBeat said on August 21, 2026 that 19 analysts now split 10 buys, eight holds and one sell, and the latest quarterly report showed $0.59 in EPS on $3.15 billion of revenue, below the $0.76 EPS and $3.31 billion revenue estimates.
Analyst mix stays mixed
The same update puts Las Vegas Sands at a 17.90 P/E ratio and a 1.15 PEG ratio, with a beta of 0.85. That valuation sits alongside a 50-day moving average of $46.77 and a 200-day moving average of $51.43, so the shares remain below the longer trend line even after a $45.98 close.
MarketScreener's sector consensus page shows the stock at $45.98 on the CBOE and lists a 5-day change of -1.26% and a 1st Jan change of -28.47%, while the average target price in that table stands at 59.07.
Dividend and leverage
The company also paid a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share on August 12, 2026, equal to an annualized $1.20 and a 2.6% yield. The latest quarter also showed a net margin of 12.59% and return on equity of 133.90%, but revenue still fell 0.7% year over year.
Debt remains part of the story. MarketBeat listed a debt-to-equity ratio of 15.27, a quick ratio of 0.99 and a current ratio of 1.00 in the same August 21 update.
Marina Bay Sands matters
Las Vegas Sands still leans on large integrated resorts, including Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and its Macau properties, where convention, gaming and hotel demand feed the revenue mix. The company profile in the August 21 MarketBeat report describes that business as centered on full-service resort complexes rather than a single property type.
For investors, the key question is whether the $3.15 billion quarter and the $61.88 consensus target can pull the stock back toward the 200-day average at $51.43. As of August 20, 2026, the shares closed at $45.98 on the CBOE.
