Baron Real Estate Fund stated the following regarding Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ:RRR) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
"We believe several travel-related real estate companies are well positioned to benefit from a favorable "trifecta" of cyclical, secular, and 2026-specific tailwinds, which should support strong fundamentals and share price performance in the years ahead.
Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ:RRR) is one of the several travel-related companies that are attractively valued. It is a leading gaming growth company positioned in the highly attractive Las Vegas Locals market. Red Rock Resorts has the real estate capacity to potentially double its portfolio in the coming years, and we find its current valuation – under 10 times 2027 estimated cash flow – extremely compelling."
