Is Red Rock Resorts (RRR) Still Undervalued On Cash Flow?

Red Rock Resorts has given long term holders a solid ride, with the share price well above its level three years ago, yet the recent pullback raises a practical question for anyone looking at the stock today. Do the cash flows that Red Rock Resorts generates support the current market price, or has sentiment moved ahead of what the business is actually producing in cash terms?

• The stock has delivered a 38.9% gain over the past three years, which puts real pressure on the current valuation to be backed by the cash the business can produce over time.
• The company’s model of casino and entertainment assets means valuation rests heavily on how efficiently those properties are run, how much of earnings converts into free cash flow, and how much capital needs to be reinvested to keep that cash stream coming.
• What if you looked at Red Rock Resorts through its earnings instead? See what Red Rock Resorts's 16.9x P/E says about the price.

The issue now is whether Red Rock Resorts’ current share price is adequately supported by the cash flows implied by its intrinsic value estimates.

Is Red Rock Resorts Still Cheap on Cash Flow?

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach here focuses on what Red Rock Resorts can return to shareholders in cash over time. On the latest twelve month numbers the business generated about $197.1 million in free cash flow, and the model then carries this forward using projections that climb from the current level to mid $400 million figures by 2028.

Those cash projections assume growing free cash flow rather than a sharp step up or drop off, which suits a portfolio of established casino and entertainment properties. When those estimated cash streams are discounted back and compared with today’s share price of $49.26, the DCF output suggests Red Rock Resorts’ intrinsic worth sits meaningfully above where the stock now trades.
