ABSTRACT

THIS ARTICLE PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE VALUATION OF LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. (LVS) TO DETERMINE WHETHER ITS STOCK IS FAIRLY VALUED BY THE MARKET. THE STUDY EMPLOYS THREE VALUATION METHODS TO ASSESS A COMPANY'S INTRINSIC VALUE. VALUATION PROVIDES A DATA-DRIVEN BASIS FOR INVESTMENT CHOICES AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL RISKS FOR INVESTORS. IT ENABLES BUSINESS OWNERS TO GAIN A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPANY’S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, WHICH IS CRUCIAL FOR DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE FUTURE GROWTH STRATEGIES AND IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES. TO DETERMINE THE COMPANY'S VALUATION, A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF ITS BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND FINANCIALS WILL BE CONDUCTED. THIS INCLUDES A REVIEW OF ITS BACKGROUND, MARKET STRUCTURE, COMPETITION, SWOT ANALYSIS, AND PESTEL ANALYSIS, FOLLOWED BY A 10-YEAR FINANCIAL PROJECTION. THE VALUATION WILL BE ESTIMATED USING ENTERPRISE DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW, DISCOUNTED ECONOMIC PROFIT, AND ADJUSTED PRESENT VALUE MODELS. ACCORDING TO THE VALUATION MODELS USED, THE COMPANY'S STOCK WAS SLIGHTLY OVERVALUED AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024.
