WYNN:

Beat earnings estimates. The company posted adjusted earnings of $2.30 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.96 per share.

Beat revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $1.72 billion, just topping our consensus estimate of $1.71 billion.

Wynn’s Q1 revenues jumped roughly 20% from $1.42 billion in the year-ago period. Meanwhile, the company’s adjusted earnings surged from $1.28 per share.

The company’s highly important Wynn Macau revenues climbed 11.9% from the year prior period to reach $618.2 million, which fell below our exclusive non-financial metrics consensus estimate that called for Macau revenues to reach $638 million.

The embattled casino company also announced a cash dividend of $0.75 per share, payable on May 29, to stockholders of record as of May 17. This represents a 50% increase in Wynn’s quarterly cash dividend from the previous quarter.

Fellow industry giants Las Vegas Sands (LVS - Free Report) and MGM Resorts (MGM - Free Report) , report their quarterly financial results later this week.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
