During Las Vegas Sands' Q4 2024 earnings call on January 29, 2025, Chairman and CEO Rob Goldstein stated that the company repurchased $450 million of LVS stock during the quarter and paid its recurring dividend. He noted that the annual dividend would increase to $1 per share, or 25 cents per quarter, for the 2025 calendar year. Goldstein also reported that the company purchased approximately $250 million of Sands China stock during the quarter and in January 2025, bringing LVS's equity interest in Sands China to approximately 72.3%. Goldstein said the company believes the Chinese economy will grow and that the Macau market will grow as well, with gross gaming revenue in Macau expected to exceed $30 billion in 2025. He described Thailand as "an unbelievable tourism destination" with potential to add destination resorts and create a large-scale industry, noting that while there is overlap with Singapore, it could strengthen the company's ecosystem. Goldstein declined to provide an estimate of the impact of a presidential visit on properties but said there was "a noticeable change" and expressed optimism for 2025.
