Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s stock has seen significant gains this week, extending its rise in premarket trades as a result of China’s economic stimulus efforts. The company owns five casinos in Macau and saw a 15.3% increase since Monday, making it the fourth-best performer on the S&P 500. This marks the stock’s strongest weekly performance in three years.
