Las Vegas Sands Shares Plunge on Concerns Over Loan Default
By Michael Nol
Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Las Vegas Sands Corp. plunged in early New York trading after saying it may be in default of some loans if it can't raise capital, threatening its ability to keep operating ``as a going concern.''
Las Vegas Sands dropped $3.46, or 30 percent, to $8.20 at 8:55 a.m. before the start of New York Stock Exchange composite trading.
The casino company said in a regulatory filing today that it doesn't expect to meet a maximum leverage ratio covenant in the fourth quarter. That would trigger defaults that might force the company to suspend development projects and ``raise a substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern,'' Las Vegas Sands said in the filing.
