Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into LVS?

FAIR

At today's price, Las Vegas Sands Corp. needs to grow free cash flow about 2.2% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 7.73% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at -0.5% a year, so the market is asking for 2.8 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis LVS looks priced roughly in line with its own growth record.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. is currently running 19.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against LVS's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 9th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 30.6%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

LVS is trading -57.7% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -37.3%, and the deepest was -49.1% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -26.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 3rd percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year LVS closed higher on 45% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, LVS finished the month higher 9 of 14 times, with a median return of +1.4% and an average of +3.1%. Its strongest month historically has been February at +3.2% on average, its weakest March at -4.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: LVS has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 170 of 3,268 sessions (5.2% of the time), with the largest gaps running +11.1% and -9.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, LVS moved an average of 6.9% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -4.9% and a largest of -8.4%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against LVS's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
