SkyCity sees international growth, but clouds gather over Auckland project
SkyCity Entertainment Group is optimistic about its prospects, but analyst reactions to its latest results have been lacklustre, while a major project designed to boost growth at home is facing difficulties.
The company, which operates four casinos in New Zealand and two in Australia, is facing stagnant growth in its home market, while competition is set to mount in Australia.
Overall in the 2013/2014 financial year New Zealanders spent $1.54 billion on the four main forms of gambling, an increase of less than one percent, while casino spending fell 2.1 percent.
The company reported a flat profit of $66.6 million ($49 million) in its six monthly results on Wednesday, but also pointed to its increasing investment in Australia and its growing international business.
