IJR News — today's news from every sideLVS Posts Q2 2026 Revenue, Expands Buyback — Jul 26, 2026Las Vegas Sands posted Q2 2026 revenue of about $3.154 billion, net income of $346 million, and EPS of $0.53, while expanding its buyback to $6 billion through 2029 as it continues heavy reinvestment in Macao and other properties; this suggests a stronger focus on capital returns even as investment costs affect near-term margins. A wave of institutional buyers—Renaissance Technologies, Cumberland Partners, AQR, Norges Bank, Arrowstreet, M&T Bank, Bank of New York Mellon, and others—have boosted LVS holdings, and the stock appears undervalued on a P/E basis versus industry peers, with upside potential tied to property openings like The Londoner and margin recovery amid renovation costs and market conditions.
