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
