The company said it is preparing to build a third property in Macau and expects approval for that project shortly, Bloomberg News reported.

Las Vegas-based Wynn also announced it will double its quarterly dividend to 50 cents a share from 25 cents. Wynn said its Las Vegas average daily room rate rose 18% in the first quarter, with occupancy down 1.5% to 87.9%, Bloomberg reported. Jefferies reiterated a “buy” rating on Wynn shares while boosting its price target on the stock to $174 from $141. Hudson Securities raised its price target on Wynn to $146 from $129.
