Shares of casino operator Wynn Resorts Ltd. (NASDAQ: WYNN) have dropped nearly 24% over the past 12 months. The better news is it could have been worse. In the first five weeks of the current quarter, shares have risen by nearly 15% as a result of two pieces of good news.

First, billionaire investor Tilman Fertitta revealed a 6% stake in the company. The second bit of good news arrived Monday, following a report that China finally may give up its zero-covid policy and loosen its strict lockdowns. There may be less there than meets the eye, but investors would like to have some good news from China, and they are hoping this is it.
