A double-dose of StubWorld this week ...



Wynn Resorts (WYNN US) six-month outperformance versus 72%-held Wynn Macau Ltd (1128 HK) pitches the current share price at a premium to its NAV.



Preceding my comments on Wynn are the updated setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.


These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity threshold of US$1mn on a 90-day moving average, and a % market capitalisation threshold - the $ value of the holding/opco held, over the parent’s market capitalisation, expressed in percent - of at least 20%.


As always, more below the fold.
