Is Wall Street Bullish or Bearish on Las Vegas Sands Stock?

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) was established in 1988 and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company is a prominent international developer of multi-use integrated resorts with operations primarily in the U.S. and Asia. With a market capitalization of $35.7 billion, LVS owns and operates several renowned establishments including The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, and The Plaza Macao.

Over the past year and in 2026, LVS stock has not performed as well as the broader market. While it has seen a 9.3% increase in the last 52 weeks, it has declined by 19% on a year-to-date basis. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index has returned 14.3% over the past year and risen by 1.4% in 2026. Despite outperforming the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF’s 3.9% rise over the past 52 weeks, LVS has lagged behind its 1.5% increase this year.

On January 29, LVS shares plummeted more than 12% following the release of the company’s Q4 2025 earnings report. While LVS exceeded Wall Street estimates with a revenue of $3.65 billion and an adjusted EPS of $0.85, its Q4 Macau operations adjusted property EBITDA of $608 million fell short of the consensus of $626.1 million.

Analysts predict that LVS’ EPS will grow by 4% year-over-year to $3.13 on a diluted basis for the fiscal year ending in December 2026. The company’s earnings performance has been mixed, surpassing the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters while missing once.

Of the 18 analysts covering LVS stock, the consensus is a “Moderate Buy,” with 12 “Strong Buy” ratings and six “Holds.” This rating has remained relatively stable for the past three months. Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon maintained an “Outperform” rating for Las Vegas Sands stock on January 29 and reaffirmed a price target of $70.

The mean price target for LVS is $70.79, indicating a potential upside of 34.2% from the current market prices. The Street-high target of $80 suggests that the stock could rally by as much as 51.7%.
