Steve Wynn, billionaire founder-CEO of Wynn Resorts, took home $11.2M in 2007. WYNN stock rose 19.5 percent on the year, but net profit fell as the company expanded its operations in both Las Vegas and Macau. Wynn is the company's second-largest stockholder as well, and his 21.1 percent stake in the company is worth $2.7B.
Steve Wynn, chief executive of Wynn Resorts, gave mixed news in the company's fourth quarter '07 earnings report. On the plus side, Macau profits drove fourth quarter profits. But Wynn expects "general weakness" in the Las Vegas resort and casino industry throughout '08, citing ongoing economic troubles in the U.S.A. WYNN, and other Vegas stocks, fell as a result of the boss's forecast.
CIBC gives Wynn Resorts a rating of “underperform” and raises the target price from $83 to $90.
