Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Wynn Resorts Ltd., operator of the Wynn and Encore casinos, rose as much as 5.7 percent after declaring a $5 a share special dividend.
Wynn climbed to $134.56 at 10:14 a.m. New York time, after reaching $135.88 earlier. The shares had gained 24 percent this year before today.
The dividend is payable on Dec. 21 to holders of record on Nov. 23, Wynn said today in a statement. Wynn had disappointed investors on Oct. 19, when Chief Executive Officer Stephen Wynn told investors a special dividend was uncertain. The shares fell 5.3 percent the next day.
