Las Vegas Sands Disappoints...

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS). The Las Vegas-based developer and operator of hotel, gambling, and resort businesses late Monday reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $71.1 million, or 20 cents a share, compared with $132.9 million, or 37 cents a share, during the year earlier. The company posted net income of $39.9 million, or 11 cents, a share, down from $113.6 million, or 32 cents a share, last year. Revenue for the three months ended Dec. 31 came in at $1.05 billion versus $636.3 million a year ago.

The company said its latest results were impacted, in part, by increases in operating costs related to its global expansion, as well as higher depreciation and amortization expense.

The stock is trading up 3 points pre-market.
