WYNN up 3.8 to 168.7 AH :-)
Wynn Resorts(WYNN) was enjoying a bump after its quarterly report.

The stock jumped 2.3% to $168.65 on volume of around 500,000, according to Nasdaq.com, after the Las Vegas-based casino operator posted an adjusted profit of $200.8 million, or $1.60 a share, on revenue of $1.37 billion, well above Wall Street's consensus estimate for earnings of $1.04 a share on revenue of $1.29 billion.

Wynn said revenue from its Macau operations jumped almost 37% year-over-year, while its Las Vegas-based business saw a revenue boost of 23%.

Wall Street was taking a wait-and-see approach with Wynn ahead of the report, mainly on valuation concerns. Seventeen of the 27 analysts covering the stock have hold ratings, and the 12-month price target is sitting at $150, a discount of more than 10% from the stock's current level.
