10 Best Casino Stocks to Buy in 2026

2. Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN)

Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) stock has been hit in recent days amid Iranian attacks on the UAE, as investors assess the possible ramifications of these attacks on the development of Wynn Al Marjan Island. This property is being developed by Wynn and is located on an exclusive, man-made island in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, a short drive away from Dubai International Airport. The Wynn Al Marjan Island project is expected to cost between $3.9 billion and $5.1 billion and will be the first UAE property licensed for commercial gaming.

Jefferies analyst David Katz, who has been bullish on the stock, said earlier this year that the UAE setup looked compelling for Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) given rising wealth growth among the top-tier income levels in the region, expected to continue through 2030. Katz attributed this to continued inflows in UAE driven by zero income tax, global safety leadership, long-term visa reforms, rapid infrastructure advancement, and wealth management.

Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) designs, develops, and operates integrated resorts that feature casino space, private gaming salons, and sky casinos. The company runs Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor.
