Wynn Resorts Ltd. (NASDAQ: WYNN)
Wynn Resorts once again has fallen to a new 52 week low, in fact this time, a five year low. Last week, the stock dropped Under $60 on higher than average volume and closed near the bottom end of its trading range due to a revision from Fitch Ratings on its Macau gaming growth. The forecast at Fitch is now expecting revenue to fall by 34% for 2015, versus a 28% decline as originally forecasted. With the recent negative news the stock gapped down today out of the gates and continued to sell off during the trading session. TheStreet

Wynn is expected to release its next earnings October 26-30, 2015.
