Boyd Gaming
Boyd Gaming Boyd Gaming was one of the few US-based gaming stocks that finished the week on a high note. While other gaming stocks continued to flounder, Boyd jumped 4.05%, to $8.73.

The stock is still not out of the weeds when it comes to the economic recession, but Friday helped after a year in which casino companies have been devastated by the market collapse. Late in the year, however, many of the gaming stocks rallied.

One of the stocks that has rallied big is Las Vegas Sands. Back in March, Sands stock hit a low of $1.42, and at the time the company was in a dire position. Since then, the stock has risen to the current price of $15.29.

One of the reasons Sands pulled themselves out of a hole was a public initial offering in Asia. The IPO raised much needed capital, and Sands is hoping that the stock resurgence continues through the beginning of next year.

Wynn Resorts was the first US-based company this year to offer an IPO in Asia. Wynn did not raise as much as Sands, but their stock price in the US stayed significantly ahead of Sands. Wynn stock closed at $60.02 on Friday.
