Nagacorp: Six Month 2022 Results Validate Bullish Outlook for Year as Pandemic Wanes in Cambodia

By Howard J Klein

  • We have long been fans of this company due to its record of sound management decisions and asset allocation moves to expand steadily against demand.
  • Six month results support our thesis that ASEAN casinos that have reopened are re-ramping revenues apace as Macau remains dead pooled by Beijing zero tolerance covid policies.
  • At its current price we see mounting sentiment to the upside as sequential earnings improvements y.y can be expected in Qs 3 and 4.
