Galaxy, which has a market capitalization of $ 12 billion, was the only company to open a new casino resort on Macau's developing Cotai strip last year, significantly increasing its market share over the past 12 months.
Galaxy Entertainment's shares were up 2.6 percent on Thursday at the midday break, outpacing a 0.5 percent gain in the benchmark Hong Kong index .HSI.
Las Vegas mogul Sheldon Adelson's Macau unit Sands China Lt d (1928.HK) opened a new casino, the Sands Cotai Central, a few hundred meters from Galaxy's property in April this year.
