Market experts opine that its new casino, together with strong market growth, should help the company generate high single-digit growth in EBITDA and double-digit FCF growth in upcoming years. With expectations of strong margins on revenues from its new resort, the company’s margins are expected to remain above the pre-COVID levels.

Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ:RRR) continues to eye expansion opportunities and remains confident in its long-term growth strategy, which is expected to be supported by its real estate bank and robust assets in the Las Vegas locals market.
