Maybank Investment Bank Bhd says it now expects Genting Malaysia Bhd to record a core net loss for 2021, “due to the recent surge in new Covid-19 cases” in Malaysia, where the gaming firm runs its main earner, the Resorts World Genting casino complex (pictured) near Kuala Lumpur.
The brokerage said it was now forecasting Genting Malaysia’s “full-year core net loss” at MYR384.8 million (US$93.5 million), compared to a 2020 core net profit of MYR137.9 million, wrote analyst Samuel Yin Shao Yang, in comments accompanying a Tuesday note.
Resorts World Genting resumed operations on February 16, after being closed for more than three weeks as a Covid-19 countermeasure, due to a spike in infections in that country.
