Casino stocks are taking a beating on Tuesday and it has to do with negative news out of China.
Macau is starting up a 45-day review of the gambling industry that could affect several companies that operate in the area. This could result in more restrictions for casino companies, which might hurt their stocks as well.
Another bit of negative news has to do with outbreaks of the novel coronavirus in the area. An increasing number of cases is resulting in more travel restrictions, which isn’t what investors in casino stocks want to see, reports Reuters.
Let’s take a look at how these factors are affecting casino stocks today.
