10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Following Bank of America Securities&#8217; recent notes amid tariff-induced volatility, it also published some key data on questions <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel" rel="noreferrer noopener">it regularly receives.</a>
International inbound travel makes up only ~5% of U.S. room nights and 3% of arrivals. However, international travelers stay longer, spend more, and are mostly leisure travelers.
The largest source market is Canada (40% of international room nights and 28% of arrivals), followed by Europe and Mexico.

Las Vegas has 10% international visitors, and ~15% of gaming revenue is high-end baccarat, some of which is Asia-sourced.
BofA Securities noted that international inbound did not fully recover post-pandemic, given flight capacity and the dollar.
International revenue is 20-40% for Lodging C-Corps, and China accounts for 5-9% of fees for Marriott International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>), Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), Hyatt Hotels Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>), and Wyndham Hotels &amp; Resorts, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WH#NYSE">WH</a>).
Other regions are evenly balanced across Europe, AsiaPac ex-China, Caribbean/LatAM and MidEast/Africa.
By far the most considerable China exposure in BofA Securities&#8217; coverage is Macau, which makes up 62%, 52%, and 20% of Las Vegas Sands Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>), Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>) and MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) revenue, respectively, while China makes up another ~20% of Singapore for Las Vegas Sands.
The top question BofA Securities received last week concerns the exposure of Lodging C-Corp room development to China. BofA Securities estimates China makes up 37%, 26%, 22%, and 18% of pipelines for Hyatt Hotels, Hilton Worldwide, Wyndham Hotels, and Marriott International overall, but this could overstate exposure as pipelines understate conversions, and China under-indexes on RevPAR given lower occupancy and rates.
Direct tariff impacts for GL&amp;L should be low as supplies/inventories make up ~10-15% of hotel operating expenditure. Developers could see supply chain issues/price spikes across their budgets, but most dollars are international (Japan, Singapore, Macau).
Government makes up ~3% of room nights, and slightly more if contractors are included.
Government per diems are low, reducing the exposure of full-service hotels. Pre-pandemic business travel made up ~30% of overall U.S. travel spending but closer to 70% of revenue for BofA Securities&#8217; companies, which overweight higher chain scales and urban markets.
Business travel is less elastic than leisure travel, but it is diversified by industry. It accounts for only 2-3% of overall corporate operating expenditure and never fully recovered post-COVID.
Lodging C-Corps are now trading below historical averages, while Lodging REITs are at historical trough levels reached at/near the Global Financial Crisis and during COVID.

Which Gaming And Lodging Stocks Are Exposed To International inbound Travel And China?

BofA Securities analyst Shaun C. Kelley shared his first-quarter preview of the gaming sector Monday.
Kelley already adjusted first-quarter estimates for full-year estimates to reflect a more uncertain Macau environment, incorporate regional gaming trends, discuss recent digital trends, tweak Macau share estimates, and lower his price targets to reflect the market re-rating.
It&#8217;s been volatile, but gaming stocks are down 12% year-to-date compared to the S&amp;P&#8217;s 9% decline.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44787792/sony-raises-ps5-prices-in-some-countries-by-up-to-25-in-anticipation-of-tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sony Raises PS5 Prices In Some Countries By Up To 25% In Anticipation Of Tariffs</a>
Kelley is 5% below the Street in Macau, and given U.S./China tensions, expect a more cautious tone from operators.
The analyst did not think management teams were seeing softness in Las Vegas yet. Still, investors will be hyper-focused on any changes in visitation, bookings, cancellations, or behavior as they exited in March and April following the trade/geopolitical issues.
For regionals, Kelley is slightly below the Street for the first quarter, but visitation has been relatively steady and actually improved in March due to better weather. His 2025 gaming EBITDA estimates are now 2% below the Street.
Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter EBITDA estimates for Macau are 5% below the Street, driven by lower market share expectations for US-based operators and margin pressure from a mix shift to premium and concession operating expenditures. The analyst is 10% below the Street for Las Vegas Sands Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) at $560 million.
For the remainder of 2025, Kelley modeled market-wide Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) up 0.5% (versus +3% prior) and lowered his market share expectations for Las Vegas Sands, given mass-market challenges.
Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter Marina Bay Sands estimate for Singapore is $522 million, slightly below consensus.
For Strip, Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter estimates are in line with the Street. He is slightly ahead of Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>), in line with Caesars Entertainment, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>), and below the Street for MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>).
Kelley lowered his fiscal 2025 Vegas EBITDA estimates by 2.5% and modeled -1% RevPAR and flat GGR. The analyst&#8217;s 2025 estimates are 3% below the Street on a weighted average basis.
While he is now modeling a more cautious consumer outlook, his Vegas room rate survey has been resilient, with rates tracking up +4% for the second quarter.
However, the data on placer visitation to Strip casinos has softened in March and April.
Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter estimates for Locals are 2% below the Street for Boyd Gaming Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>) versus the Street driven by local competition and regional weather in the South.
For Regionals: Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter regional estimates are 1% below the Street.
Based on limited state data, Kelley estimated that same-store GGR was +5% in January, -5% in February, and -1% in March. The analyst&#8217;s Placer visitation data followed a similar trend, suggesting trends are improving month-to-date in April, though Easter timing is creating noise.
Based on March Madness outcomes, the analyst noted DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) is likely tracking below current Street estimates of $155M.
Kelley will refine his estimates pending more March data but bridged to ~$110-120 million of first-quarter EBITDA.

Shares of broader consumer discretionary stocks are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

BofA Securities analyzes the extent of tariffs and the macroeconomic situation&#8217;s effect on the earnings of gaming and lodging companies.
Since BofA&#8217;s previous report on April 1, stocks in the lodging and gaming sector have dropped 11% % -25 %, underperforming the S&amp;P 500's 16% decline.
Rising tariffs have significantly increased recession risks, with the sector now pricing in an 85% % -100 % chance of a downturn.
Investor concerns have escalated from market correction to a potential full-scale recession. A tariff-driven slowdown could cut sector revenues by 2%–4% and EBITDA by 3%–8%.
Recessions differ in nature, but the past three saw average peak-to-trough GDP drops of 5.1% and 10% in RevPAR.
According to the analyst, sub-sector sensitivity varies, with regional gaming and skiing less affected, while hotels and timeshares are more exposed.

Earnings risk is highest for gaming operators and lodging REITs due to their high operating leverage. COVID and GFC downturns lasted about 67 days; current declines are 55 days in, said the analyst.
A 1% GDP decline could reduce hotel RevPAR by 2%–4%, broader sector revenue by 2%–4%, and EBITDA by 3%–8%.
Tariffs are projected to impact GDP by 1%–1.5%, amplifying pressure on hospitality earnings.
Early data from Apple Hospitality REIT Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APLE#NYSE">APLE</a>) signals underperformance, with potential RevPAR guidance cuts of 2% to 3% and flat growth for the U.S. in 2025.
Domestic gaming stocks are currently trading at notably low valuations, with 2025 EBITDA multiples at 6.5x and free cash flow yields at 15%, while operating companies are at 6.3x and 20%, respectively, said the analyst.
These figures sit one standard deviation below long-term averages, hitting levels last seen in 2022 and even lower than in 2016 and 2018. 
Lodging C-Corps are also below historical norms, except for Hilton Hotels Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), which still trades at a premium.
Lodging REITs have dropped to valuation lows only previously observed during the COVID-19 and Global Financial crises.
Meanwhile, timeshare valuations are also depressed, and Vail Resorts Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) is now trading at its lowest multiple since 2011.

Shares of companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading lower amid trade war escalations and President Trump's sweeping tariffs, which are leading to a decline in consumer confidence. Some economists also predict that households will experience higher costs of goods as a result of these policies.

Chevron, Wynn Resorts And A Tech Stock On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

The smart money or colloquially the whales do things a little differently from everybody else, placing them on loftier ground. One example of this contrast comes courtesy of casino operator Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>). Because of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44430061/larry-summers-calls-trump-tariffs-self-inflicted-wound-as-fed-navigates-inflation-worries-policy-is-moving-in-wrong-direction">challenging economic circumstances</a> stemming from inflation to tariffs, it's easy to assume that WYNN stock would be a loser under the present environment. However, the opposite is true, warranting a closer look. To be fair, both from an initial glance and a deeper assessment, WYNN stock would seem a terribly risky long wager. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">a wave of pessimism</a> has swept American households, with the Consumer Confidence Index plunging to its lowest level in over a year. The Trump administration's trade war has compounded ongoing concerns of inflation and equity market volatility, contributing to the dour ambiance.
Nominally, the aforementioned index fell by 7.2 points to 92.9, representing its fourth consecutive monthly decline. Per data released by The Conference Board, it's also the lowest reading since late 2022. Because of the wider implications, the major indices were muted, with the S&amp;P 500 struggling to keep its head above parity.
Under these conditions, one normally wouldn't expect WYNN stock to outperform. Yet on Tuesday, the equity finished the day 1.3% higher. Fundamentally, the counterintuitive move is difficult to explain other than a sentiment divergence. When filtered for income level, all consumer groups expressed deteriorating sentiment except for households earning above $125,000 annually.
It's also possible that particularly young consumers' penchant for travel and experiences may have led to positive vibes for WYNN stock. Still, The Conference Board earlier reported that the number of Americans planning vacations in the next six months <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44335131/vacation-planning-hits-15-year-low-in-latest-sign-of-cash-strapped-us-consumer">hit a 15-year low</a>, excluding COVID-19. Therefore, the bullishness in WYNN is an incredibly contrarian move.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WYNN Stock Pops from Smart Money Demand</h2>
Despite the rather ugly backdrop that Wynn Resorts finds itself in, two major developments from the smart money have materialized. First, WYNN stock has been a beneficiary of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WYNN/insider-trades">insider buys</a> so far this year. Most recently, 10% owner Fertitta Entertainment acquired 1.7 million shares of WYNN, leading to a total transaction of nearly $145.71 million.
When insiders sell shares, such transactions are difficult to decipher accurately as there could be several reasons why, including completely mundane ones. On the other hand, when insiders buy shares, the interpretation is straightforward: they anticipate capital appreciation.
The second catalyst for WYNN stock is that the smart money is moving into the underlying derivatives market. Earlier in the day, Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/03/44475383/wynn-resorts-unusual-options-activity-for-march-25">options scanner</a> identified unusual activity, with net sentiment leaning optimistically. Interestingly, the most bullish trade was for sold $87 puts with an expiration date of March 28.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1017" height="277" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143502/WYNN-unusual-options-activity.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-841097" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143502/WYNN-unusual-options-activity.jpg 1017w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143502/WYNN-unusual-options-activity-300x82.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143502/WYNN-unusual-options-activity-768x209.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1017px) 100vw, 1017px" /></figure>
To quickly recap, put holders have the right but not the obligation to sell the underlying security at the listed strike price. On the other end of the trade, put sellers (or writers) receive income for underwriting the risk that the security in question won't fall. If it does fall below the breakeven threshold, put sellers may be obligated to buy the stock, a process known as assignment.
From Tuesday&#8217;s unusual options activity, retail investors may assume that the smart money doesn't see WYNN stock falling materially below $87. Nevertheless, in the worst-case scenario, the smart money is also apparently comfortable owning shares at around $85.35, which is the strike price minus the premium received (or the bid price of $1.65).
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143029/WYNN-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-841089" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143029/WYNN-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143029/WYNN-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143029/WYNN-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/25143029/WYNN-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Daring traders can leverage this market intelligence and deploy an aggressive options trade. It must be noted, though, that one of the main risks here is that WYNN stock over the past six years suffers from a negative bias. A long position held for any given eight-week period only has a 45% chance of rising, which isn't great.
Still, not all hope is lost. The nuance is that when WYNN stock encounters modest momentum — such as its current run of 2.5% over the past five sessions — the probabilities of upside tend to be pushed forward to the first few weeks following said momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Derivative Wagers for the Aggressive Gambler</h2>
For aggressive traders looking to extract quick profits, the 86/89 bull call spread expiring this Friday may be tempting. This transaction involves buying the $86 call (at a time-of-writing ask of $286) and simultaneously selling the $89 call (at a bid of $82). The proceeds from the short call offset the debit paid for the long call, resulting in a net cash outlay of $204.
In the above trade, the maximum reward is the difference between the strike prices (multiplied by 100 shares) minus the cash outlay or $96. This translates to a payout of a little over 47%, which is triggered should WYNN stock hit the short strike target of $89 at expiration. While the payout isn't the most generous, it's a realistic target given Tuesday's intraday high, which exceeded $89.
Another adventurous trade to consider is the 89/91 bull spread for the options chain expiring April 11. This trade attempts to advantage WYNN's statistical tendency of rising in the early weeks following modest momentum before eventually tapering off. While far riskier, the temptation is that this transaction currently offers a maximum payout of 115%.

Casino stocks are entering a period of seasonal strength, fueled by a surge in sports betting, increased travel during spring break, and a potential spending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gaming">boost from tax refunds.</a>
Seasonax data shows that four major casino operators rank among the top-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks between March 20 and April 20, based on two decades of market trends.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Strong Seasonal Pattern For Casino Stocks</h3>
Shares of Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NYSE">CZR</a>) have posted an average return of 7.4% during this period over the past 20 years, making it the fourth-best performing S&amp;P 500 stock. 
MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) follows closely with 6.59% average gains.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) and Wynn Resorts Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NYSE">WYNN</a>) also show strong seasonality, with respective average gains of 5.63% and 5.24% in this timeframe.
Historical data suggests this could be one of the strongest months for gaming stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">March Madness: A Billion-Dollar Betting Event</h3>
The NCAA March Madness tournament is one of the largest sports betting events in the U.S., generating billions in wagers. Sportsbooks—both online and in physical casinos—see massive betting volume. 
The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans will legally wager $3.1 billion on the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s March Madness tournaments in 2025, an increase from $2.7 billion in 2024.
This surge in activity often translates into stronger Q1 results for casino operators.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Spring Break Brings Tourists and Big Spending</h3>
March and April mark peak spring break travel, driving increased foot traffic in key gambling destinations like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. 
Higher occupancy rates at resorts and casinos boost gaming revenue and non-gaming spending, benefiting companies such as Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts.
Hotel room rates and casino floor activity typically see an uptick, reinforcing seasonal gains in gaming stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Positioning for Strong Q1 Earnings</h3>
The spike in betting activity and travel spending during March often sets up casino stocks for a strong earnings season in April. Investors tend to anticipate robust first-quarter results, which can push stock prices higher leading into earnings reports.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. is set to report its quarterly earnings on Apr. 16, a key event that could set the tone for the broader casino and gaming industry.
Other major casino operators, including Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International, and Wynn Resorts, are scheduled to release their earnings reports in early May.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The April Effect: Tax Refunds and Consumer Spending</h3>
Another key driver of seasonal gains is the arrival of tax refunds in March and April. 
Historically, discretionary spending rises during this period, with some of that extra cash flowing into casinos, sports betting, and entertainment venues.
For many Americans, tax refunds act as an additional source of disposable income, contributing to higher gaming revenue. This effect could further support the positive seasonal trend seen in casino stocks.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

BofA Securities analyst disclosed views about the future of prediction <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color" rel="noreferrer noopener">markets for online sports betting</a>.
Since December 2024, prediction markets such as Kalshi, Crypto.com, and Polymarket have significantly impacted the U.S. sports betting industry, introducing an increasing variety of markets and betting options on a national scale, writes the analyst.
The analyst says that this trend, combined with an evolving regulatory environment, presents an area that both online sports betting (OSB) operators and investors should monitor closely.
Talking about the best scenario, the analyst writes that prediction markets can enhance the sports betting sector by attracting new customers, expanding the total addressable market (TAM), and creating a convergence between sports betting and financial technology.
The analyst sees opportunities for collaboration between these technologies, and the forthcoming regulatory guidance from the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in late March or early April could drive further interest in this nascent field.
Notably, on 2/5, the CFTC revealed plans for a roundtable discussion on prediction markets to gather input from key stakeholders as it works on refining its regulatory framework.
This event is anticipated to occur approximately 45 days after the February 5th announcement (specific date has not been confirmed) and the 90-day review period for Crypto.com's sports contracts will conclude in mid-April, adds the analyst.
The analyst notes that these events are expected to provide essential clarity on the regulatory landscape for sports-related prediction markets.
On the other hand, the analyst says that there is potential for legal challenges under CFTC regulations and the Wire Act.
On March 5, Nevada issued a cease-and-desist order to Kalshi, requiring them to stop offering event-based contracts on sports and elections by March 14 (extended at Kalshi&#8217;s request). California tribes have raised concerns about prediction markets impacting tribal sovereignty, notes the analyst.

<h3>About Wynn Resorts</h3>
Wynn Resorts operates luxury casinos and resorts. The company was founded in 2002 by Steve Wynn, the former CEO. The company operates four megaresorts: Wynn Macau and Encore in Macao and Wynn Las Vegas and Encore in Las Vegas. Cotai Palace opened in August 2016 in Macao, and Encore Boston Harbor in Massachusetts opened June 2019. We expect the company to continue to build nongaming attractions in Macao over the next few years. We model Wynn's managed integrated resort in the United Arab Emirates to open in 2027. The company also operates Wynn Interactive, a digital sports betting and iGaming platform. The company received 76% and 24% of its 2019 prepandemic EBITDA from Macao and the US, respectively.
