Valuation is at the top of the list of risks for Melco Crown's stock.

Investors always need to consider the risks of an investment, and Melco Crown (MLCO 1.13%) has a few things investors need to consider. The company hasn't yet been approved for gaming tables at Studio City, we don't know the impact of its Philippines resort, and with that in mind the stock's 14 times enterprise value/EBITDA ratio is very expensive. Gaming analyst Travis Hoium covers how we should look at these risks in the video below.
