Wynn Resorts Unusual Options Activity For December 30

Wynn Resorts's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NYSE">WYNN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 24.22% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.84 million shares sold short, which is 4.38% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.65 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Wynn Resorts Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734618623_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Wynn Resorts has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Wynn Resorts's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Wynn Resorts's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.71%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

'Labour poised to announce £100m levy on gambling companies' - The Guardian

Wynn Resorts's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NYSE">WYNN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 12.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.61 million shares sold short, which is 5.08% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.27 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Wynn Resorts has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Wynn Resorts's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Wynn Resorts's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.47%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Overview
Stephen Wynn founded Wynn Resorts Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>) in 2002 and was highly regarded in the casino industry for his role in developing iconic casinos like the Bellagio and Mirage. His success was crucial to the company, attracting high-end clients with his industry expertise. However, in 2018, a Wall Street Journal article exposed sexual misconduct allegations against Wynn, dating back to the 1990s. After the disclosures, Wynn Resorts&#8217; share price plummeted 18% in just a few days in January 2018, hitting investors hard and sparking lawsuits. Recently, the company ultimately agreed to pay a $70 million settlement to affected investors.
Stephen Wynn: A Visionary in High-End Casino Development
Stephen Wynn was a highly respected figure in the casino industry, playing a key role in developing some of the world's most famous casinos, including the Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio, Wynn, and Encore in Las Vegas. Wynn was also politically influential, serving as the finance chairman for the Republican National Committee.
By January 2018, Wynn owned nearly 12% of Wynn Resorts, valued at $2.4 billion. The company consistently expressed confidence in his leadership, highlighting his deep industry knowledge, experience, and ability to draw high-end clients. For years, he was seen as the driving force behind Wynn Resorts.

The Wall Street Journal Exposes Allegations Against Stephen Wynn
In January 2018, the Wall Street Journal published an article about Stephen Wynn's sexual misconduct, based on interviews with over 150 current and former employees. One allegation came from a manicurist at Wynn Las Vegas, who claimed he raped her and forced her to undress and lie on a massage table in his office. She later received a $7.5 million settlement.
Another former massage therapist accused Wynn of exposing himself during private appointments and pressuring her to perform sexual acts. He paid her $1,000 in cash after each session.
In the early 1990s, Dennis Gomes, a former executive at the Golden Nugget, reported frequent complaints about Stephen Wynn's sexual harassment of female employees, revealing a troubling pattern of misconduct.&nbsp;
Initially, Mr. Wynn denied the allegations, saying, "The idea that I ever assaulted any woman is preposterous." The company also denied the claims and said they were made up by Wynn's ex-wife, Elaine Wynn.
Findings from the MGC and NGC Investigations
After the Wall Street Journal revelations, authorities like the Massachusetts Gaming Commission and Nevada Gaming Commission started investigations into the sexual misconduct allegations. As a casino operator, Wynn Resorts is closely regulated, and failing to meet standards could risk its gaming license and harm its reputation. Both commissions found Stephen Wynn guilty of misconduct and revealed that senior executives knew about and hid the issues.&nbsp;
As a result, Wynn Resorts faced hefty fines. The Nevada Gaming Commission imposed a record $20 million fine, while the Massachusetts Gaming Commission fined the company $35 million. Additionally, the MGC fined Wynn Resorts&#8217; president, Matthew Maddox, $500,000.
Stock Market Reaction and Investor Lawsuit
In the days following the publication of the WSJ article, the share price of Wynn Resorts fell by 18%.&nbsp;
Many market analysts reported that Stephen Wynn's departure would significantly impact Wynn Resorts' brand image and cast doubt on its future plans.&nbsp;
Corporate bookings, a major part of Wynn Resorts&#8217; business, were impacted as big brands avoided partnering with Wynn hotels to steer clear of reputational risks.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<cite>"If I were PepsiCo, I'd stay away right now," said John Blank, chief equity strategist at Zacks Investment Research.&nbsp;</cite></blockquote>
Following the allegations, the NBA severed ties with Wynn Resorts, and concerns grew about the company potentially losing its gaming licenses in Nevada, Massachusetts, and Macau.
Moreover, after the scandal and the sharp stock drop, investors filed a lawsuit against Wynn Resorts and its senior management, claiming they hid information about Stephen Wynn's sexual misconduct and internal problems.
Resolving The Case
To resolve the lawsuit from investors, Wynn Resorts has agreed to a cash settlement of $70 million. If you invested in Wynn Resorts, you may be eligible to claim a portion of this settlement to <a href="https://11thestate.com/cases/wynnresorts-investor-settlement">recover your losses</a>.
Wynn Resorts has made strides in rebuilding its brand and expanding globally since its 2018 scandal. The company secured its first UAE gaming license for a luxury resort slated to open in 2027, reduced debt by $1.2 billion, and initiated a $1 billion share buyback program. Under the leadership of CEO Craig Billings, Wynn has emphasized restoring its reputation and driving long-term shareholder value. However, its stock remains significantly below pre-scandal levels, trading at $93 in November 2024 — a 51% drop compared to $192 in 2018.
