Not a good buy right now for an impatient buyer: price is breaking down below key supports ahead of earnings, with downside momentum still building.
If you must act today, the only “bull case” is a short-term oversold bounce setup—but it’s lower-probability while MACD keeps deteriorating.
Better stance: hold off until after the 2026-02-05 earnings print (or until price reclaims ~82.45–84.11 and momentum stabilizes).
Technical Analysis
Pre-market: 80.51 (-3.00%) is below S2 (81.415) and well below the pivot (84.113) → confirms near-term breakdown.
MACD histogram -0.401 and negatively expanding → bearish momentum strengthening (not yet signaling a turn).
RSI_6 at 33.5 → near oversold/weak, which can allow bounces, but not a confirmed reversal by itself.
Moving averages converging → transition zone; combined with the breakdown, this leans bearish until price recovers key levels.
Key levels: Resistance 82.45 (S1 reclaimed), then 84.11 (pivot), then 85.78 (R1). Support is effectively “open air” below 81.41 after the break; watch for stabilization back above 81.4 to reduce immediate downside risk.
Pattern stats provided suggest only modest upside skew (40% chance of ~+1.8% next day), not strong enough to override current momentum/earnings timing.
Activity: today’s options volume 314 vs 30D avg is elevated (42.55), suggesting active positioning into the event window.
Volatility: IV 30D 27.35 vs HV 30.94 → IV not especially inflated vs realized; IV percentile 56 (mid-range). This implies options aren’t pricing extreme fear, consistent with moderately constructive sentiment.
Takeaway: options positioning leans optimistic, but it’s occurring while price action is weak—mixed signal for an immediate long entry.

Positive Catalysts
adds near-term sentiment support.
Neutral/Negative Catalysts
Sector/consumer backdrop: Morgan Stanley/BofA commentary flags muted fundamentals and a stretched consumer; growth drivers may be limited.
Financial Performance
Latest quarter provided: 2025/Q3.
Revenue: 1,004,361,000 (+4.49% YoY) → steady growth, not explosive.
Net income: 1,439,993,000 (+998.16% YoY) and EPS: 17.81 (+1145.45% YoY) → results look dominated by a likely one-time item/non-recurring factor (magnitude is outsized vs revenue), so treat as less indicative of ongoing run-rate.
Recent trend: price targets have generally been raised into early 2026 (Mizuho $100, BofA $100, Jefferies $110; Morgan Stanley modest raise to $87). Sentiment is improving on targets.
Ratings mix: bullish firms (Outperform/Buy) vs several neutrals (Citi Neutral, Wells Fargo Equal Weight, Morgan Stanley Equal Weight). Overall: constructive but not unanimous.
Wall Street “pros”: diversified regional exposure, potential benefit from Las Vegas locals resilience, and upside from capital projects/ROI.
Wall Street “cons”: several desks cite limited growth drivers and a muted consumer/services backdrop; neutrals want clearer catalysts beyond capex execution.
Politicians/congress: no recent congress trading data available; no notable political/influential buying/selling provided.
