MGM (MGM) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
People Inc.'s 66.8 million-share stake in MGM is worth about $2.9 billion at current prices, already exceeding People Inc.'s $2.86 billion market capitalization. People Inc.'s publishing business is improving, with Q2 adjusted EBITDA increasing to $73 million and 2026 EBITDA guidance raised. Including estimated net proceeds from the announced $189 million LP-interest sale, we estimate holdco cash at approximately $939 million.
MGM Resorts International remains a Buy due to attractive valuation and strong balance sheet despite recent underperformance versus the S&P 500. MGM's growth is driven by MGM China and MGM Digital, while Las Vegas and regional operations face near-term headwinds from weak visitation and consumer sentiment. Management is investing in long-term growth, including the MGM Osaka resort in Japan and expanding digital and sports-betting platforms.
