MGM

Bob_Wiser

Not too shabby yourself. There are always 10+ baggers lurking the hard part is figuring out which one. That's why my gamble and spread out hope to hold the ticket of one of them and not to worry that I missed out on a 10x on 50%. I think the front runner for me these days is Maple Gold Mine (MGM). Bought it at 0.05 per share and I sold around 11 cents just as they had the 10:1 reverse split. It's now at $2.5 a share. I don't look at it that I lost $5000 worth of gain because I rotated that out to others which have done suitably well too. VZLA is promising but IMHO AG is where it's at. Keith Neumeyer knows his stuff and example the stock took a hit when First Majestic decided to sit on and not ship silver stockpiles and now they're laughing all the way to the bank since silver is at least $20/oz more than it was then. I expect this to reflect in this upcoming earning report. As it is I'm sitting pretty on 300 shares bought at just over $16 CAD per share. This is one of the few stocks I pre-emptively knew I wasn't going to sell at 100%, I'm going for 200%/33% and will ride out the 200 shares until retirement or when I see red flashing warning signs in the silver space.

I've been screaming that Bezos was behind the attempted assassinations of GME and AMC. It's why he bought MGM ->> so he could run this same play but with Amazon Prime Video and MGM instead of Netflix and HBO

A REIT that focuses on gaming/casinos. Has tenants like MGM, Ceasars entertainment, etc…

Got into wheeling early this year. I’m trading account 4x yours and wouldn’t touch any of those, too expensive. If you get assigned on MSFT it’s your entire account. I’m trading Pypl, Tgt, Xom, BX, MGM, PEP, KO etc using TA. looking for premium OTM, 30-45 days, $100-$200 on companies I don’t mind getting “stuck” holding if trade goes wrong 1 cause I believe in them long term 2 cause they pay nice dividend if I have to hold them longer than expected. (just bonus). Sometimes I’ll just have couple trades going, sometimes I’ll have ten.

I would take out MGM and add Boeing.

* Exxon Mobil ($XOM): 3.42% * Chevron ($CVX): 4.49% * Flutter Entertainment ($FLUT): N/A * MGM Resorts ($MGM): N/A * Lockheed Martin ($LMT): 2.85% * RTX Corp ($RTX): 1.48% * Phillip Morris ($PM): 3.67% * Altria ($MO): 7.35% Average of 2.9075% dividend overall. Quick and dirty math: if you had $100,000 equally spread in all above stocks on Jan. 1, 2025 you'd have made $13,690 at the end of the year, and $2,907.50 in dividend for a total of $16,597.50. * SPY: 1.07% Same $100,000 for SPY would give you $16,640 just from the stock, plus $1,070 dividend, totaling $17,710. So even with the combined dividend, you would gain more betting your parents' hard earned Benjamins in SPY rather than the 8 above. Even without dividends.

CalebVanPoneisen

I mean, you could just see how they performed last year. * Exxon Mobil ($XOM): +12.14% * Chevron ($CVX): +3.89% * Flutter Entertainment ($FLUT): -15.55% * MGM Resorts ($MGM): +8.41% * Lockheed Martin ($LMT): +0.29% * RTX Corp ($RTX): +58.09% * Phillip Morris ($PM): +32.45% * Altria ($MO): +9.81% So on average you'd have made 13.69% (nice) if you'd have invested equally in all of them. Which is less than SPY (16.64%).

The MGM Grand is a favorite amongst degenerate gamblers it must be the cool looking lion trade mark mixed with Tupac shakur ties

I live and work in Vegas, couple of points: 1. LVCVA (visitors authority) publishes monthly visitor data. It is down anywhere from 5-15% YOY but as others have stated, is far from “dead”. 2. Pretty much every Vegas gaming company has properties outside of Vegas and even the us. Example: MGM - mostly vegas, but also Detroit, AC, Biloxi, DC, Macau CZR - mostly Vegas, but another 35 or so assets across the US WYNN, LVS - 1 Vegas complex, several international GDEN - 1 vegas strip property, smaller regional properties and a crap ton of taverns (bars) RRR - doing fantastic, all their properties are local focused off the strip. PENN - very small vegas prescience So as you can see it’s hard to find a solely concentrated Vegas stock and if you do (RRR) you’re looking at a company performing the inverse of tourism and more based on population growth of the city.

I guess $MGM pretty retarded play tho

DonkeyTron42

Companies like MGM and WYNN are exiting Las Vegas for more lucrative places like Macau.

My first call option was MGM calls during the pandemic when everything opened back up. Turned $900 into 3k and was hooked. 

BananaOverlorddd

MGM and Caesar's are the obvious plays but honestly Vegas always seems to bounce back when you least expect it - might be a risky short with all the F1 and Sphere hype bringing people back

JohnnyStrides

Not worth it in Vegas, they all (except the Park MGM) stink to high hell of cigarette smoke. I'd rather go people watching elsewhere in Vegas, it's just as entertaining.

zxc123zxc123

Clock broken is right twice a day. Dr Burry right every few years. Dude wasn't just a bear the whole time but his bearish calls get highlighted by media so he sounds like a gigabear. Dude bought into GME before Roaring Kitty did (sold out early like a paper handed bitch though), shorted then went long China at the right times, went short TLT after Fed rate hikes, etcetcetc. Still. I think Burry is probably wrong and early. The market has so much dumber crap working that shorting AI is like the dumb af. Carvana is worth $100B. That's more than Carmax (6), Honda motors (40), Pinterest (17), Zillow (17), MGM resorts (10), and BiliBili (9.9) COMBINED. Then there are the quantum hype stocks like Riggetti computing. Plus the entire crypto space looks scammy AF plus BTC still has no real use case after 15years. MSTR out here stacking BTC while shorting itself. PE looking for suckers to hold their bags like a fent addict looking for their next fix. And more.

Are they going to block Disney buying Fox or Amazon buying MGM?

Opening_AIx

bruh, did I even said it was Amazon's core business? they just own MGM's content, that is all that I've said. selling shit isn't even Amazon's core business any more. AWS is the bread and butter. bruh, don't miss your pills man; you need them to stay focused! not medical advice.

teerre

You think MGM is Amazon's core business? That's deranged even for this subreddit

Opening_AIx

MEant Amazon owns MGM and Sony Columbia

Opening_AIx

right, and that's why Amazon owns MGM's library and continues to create original content. Got it.

While I do agree, the good news is that most S&P500 index funds are market weighted. While CVNA might be able to scam their way barely onto the S&P500, they're only going to make up ~0.01% of the S&P500 market cap. That's similar to other similar companies currently, such as MGM Resorts, Match Group, or Paramount Skydance (all around the $10 billion market cap level).

A-1, buy the dip. B-2, this is generational. Respectfully, fuck the HBO of it all -- the WARNER of it all is the treasure chest. Superman. The Matrix. DC will finally be GOOD. And Netflix is GLOBAL. And it's on your phone and in your home. And Netflix does theatrical releases whereas HBO has only done so for some Indies in the past. This is a buy and hold and keep buying. It's Netflix's game to lose. They immediately save on licensing fees for HBO and WB properties. NFLX has to PAY to host films they didn't produce on their platform. They now effectively save all the money they would have paid to "RENT" those titles. Also, this is IMHO a more elegant version of Amazon's MGM play. Netflix can now relaunch Sopranos for a modeler GLOBAL audience. So many gems from the golden era of HBO that Gen Z has never heard of. I live in LA and all my industry friends are working on Netflix shows and films. Anyone who's working is working on a Netflix project. They're not going to make shitty versions of old IP. They have the money to invest in the talent to do with some old IP what Marvel did. Find something in the WB basement, dust it off, get a salaried genius to bring it to life, make sure folks in Asia and Europe and Africa feel seen, and go LAUGHING to the bank. I own and ad agency, btw so I won't give all the ad plays away, but man -- THEME PARKS?! $100 bucks?! Bruh. Buy buy buy and hold.

Ha. Similar thing happened to me years ago. Wife and I were walking through the MGM gambling hall. Stopped at a quarter slot machine, put 2 quarters in and cashed out $50 on the first play and walked out.

Constant-Bridge3690

HOOD's trading revenue is mostly in options and crypto. Very volatile sectors. I would think they would want to diversify out of those sectors. Prediction markets (ie gambling) doesn't seem like the way to go given we already have DraftKings, Fan Duel, MGM, etc. Schwab just bought Forge Global to trade private equities. That is a market where I see a lot of opportunity.

At a macro level, let me explain the thesis you seem to be missing: \> Economy gets fucked \> Consumers have less discretionary income \> Companies return on ad spend plummets \> META, GOOGL revenue plummets and first thing to go is CAPEX (read, GPU spend) \> NVIDIA revises forecasts down all of a sudden your forward P/Es don't look so reasonable. There's a reason FPE is forward and not realized, that's the threat Anyways, I'm not retarded enough to buy NVDA puts (COF, ALLY, MGM, LUV puts are very on the table though) but your prices are not extreme theory misses the primary threat vector

Amzn also owns Ring, MGM Studios, Twitch, Whole Foods. Don't forget they also did $56B in advertising revenue in 2024 and it is growing double digits. Goog has already run up a fair amount and rejected off ATH today. I think Amzn has more upside potential right now having be relatively flat the last couple years. You could always buy 2027 LEAPS on both and sell CC on them running PMCC.

My fun money earnings play on MGM paid off. Made 3.3% in the week I held while SPY was -2.2% and QQQ was -3.5%. I also cut my losses (finally) on UPST. Took a -43.5% loss while SPY returned 40.1% and QQQ returned 52.1%. I put the UPST funds into AVDV (increasing my share count by 18%), PRCT (share increase of 13%), and QXO (share increase of 18%).

Shorted both MGM and WYNN. Vegas is dead and it's not coming back to life.

People are sleeping on MGM resorts. Stock looks bad, so it will obviously go up. Gambling never dies.

FSD to me means a car I could hop in, say “I wanna go to MGM in Las Vegas” and then take a nap for 6 hours and have that be both legal and safer than if I made the drive myself. AFAIK no one is even remotely close to that but also no other company is trying to claim that they’re only 1 year away from that for almost a decade lol

It’s your own faults your playing casino on your cell phone an not here . No one betting sports in Vegas . They have their phones. Vegas is gonna be on sale very soon! If you didn’t know . Trump hotel has no casino so he not feeling it. Casino owners are sweating 🥵 Nevada needs sports betting bacj for itself. Athletes are going to jail for rigging games. Save the sports !! Save the city ! Save the casinos. Save Vegas save the players! Save the country! And get the damn Indians and redskins back ! Are goin to Nebraska

Probably buy more CCL calls for earnings. MGM and Casear's shit the bed, boomers need somewhere to gamble their retirement away still. And I went on one recently, they've got their shit together. Way better offers than Vegas has sent me in like two years.

neothedreamer

Honestly I don't anticipate any of the Mag 7 disappearing or failing over the next 20 years. They are all actively building new products and acquiring smaller businesses. In fact many of them are really ETFs of many businesses with diverse income streams. For example - Amzn - AWS, their retail, marketplace for other retailers, fulfillment services, MGM Studios/Prime Video, Ring, Whole Foods, advertising on Prime and Amzn marketplace - last quarter $17.7B, Alexa products, Amzn Music subscription MSFT - Office, Windows, Teams, Azure, Outlook, Skype, Linkedin, Blizzard/Activision, Mojang (Minecraft), Xbox GOOG - Search words, Youtube ads, Youtube TV and music subscription, advertising, Gemini, Google Cloud, Google Suite (competing with Office), gmail.com, Android OS and Devices The story I see here is how frequently these 7 compete with each other - these 3 all offer major cloud offerings that companies spend millions of dollars on a year for infrastructure. This is also which AI has become so hot. All the big players see it as a new frontier to compete in. NVDA providing the GPU and CUDA platform - Meta, Goog, MSFT, TSLA, Aapl, Amzn all either building AI services for end users and/or building AI infrastructure for other to build on. The first one to die will be the one that stops innovating and/or buying new competition. OPENAI has a real shot at becoming Mag #8 in the next 2 to 5 years.

CatalystOfChaos

CCL. MGM and Caesar's earnings calls were bad, Vegas is low value and they still sound tone deaf on that, boomers still need somewhere to blow their retirement other than on health care and a third house.

Doing some DD on MGM and even 5 years on, it's still jarring seeing the precipitous revenue drops that occurred in 2020, a reminder of a hopefully less than once-in-a-lifetime event that my 3-year-old daughter will only have to learn about and not experience firsthand.

YungSpudly

Why isn't mgm on here? Earnings tomorrow with expected revenue beat despite reddit thinking that vegas is dead. ALSO its funny to bet on a betting company. 10/31/2025 MGM 31.00 P YOLO

CatalystOfChaos

MGM's call coming up, you still have time. Vegas is getting thrashed. They don't behave like they actually WANT any visitors and current environment is not friendly to international travel. I was going 5-6x a year, now twice. Going on Carnival Cruises instead.

yellacopter

The head of films at Apple recently said they weren’t pursuing WB. I don’t understand how Netflix does this either. It confuses the brand, unless they plan on operating it separately. And then there’s the question of theatrical. Amazon could buy, but they still haven’t figured out WTF they’re doing with MGM. So I’d be surprised if they felt this was the right time. My money is on Paramount, but I would much rather see the studio go to Apple. But who knows?

Fun-Dot-3029

Robinhood really needs to take a leaf out of MGM’s book and at least offer free drinks and comped rooms for when we’re homeless

Take your money to MGM and throw their dice. Better odds than playing Trump roulette with a boulder suspended above your head

Yeah I just did it this year and pulled a cool 300 off of DK, 365 and MGM, doing the promo with a friend helps too. Also good for making sure you delete with your friend so you can both just take the cash out.

MGM, fanduel, espn bet. Some made you put like $20 instead of $5 but a lot gave 100-200 in “bonus bets”. I bet on March Madness and would have “stupid” bets that contradict each other and “break even” (plus hit a wild upset or two) to convert bonus bets to real $

_MY_GUY_1

What real assets are you referring to? Genuinely curious. I’ve been in entertainment finance for well over a decade operating at the exec level and have worked at LG. Personally I wouldn’t invest and believe other opportunities are more attractive. Not saying you can’t make money on this play, and I do believe 2026 will be highly acquisitive in the industry with more M&A activity than this year. However, I’m not sure that helps LG with a sale. The exec team are dinosaurs who are on a terrible losing streak with hits for the last 18 months (normal in this industry honestly, but they haven’t adjusted or adapted to the current market nor do they understand it at all). They’re all close to 80 and looking for a sale to retire or sell to PE. Buyers on the tech/streaming side seem very limited as none need a studio anymore. Amazon already has MGM, Netflix and Apple have developed this internally. And their stock performance is currently down ~60% since the spin. For sure it can go up on a news article about a potential sale and as their slate is stronger next year. But make no mistake this studio has been slowly dying for over a decade as evidenced in their stock price, earnings reports, employee morale, etc.

Roths made 50% 24K to 36K( We maxed 2019 and 2020 on wife and mine by April ) and my robinhood grew over 100-200%% gains ( CZR PENN MGM NCLH and Carnival Cruise ) I was hooked. Lost money on the videp one at the top and converted all my RH gains to VTI and later sold my tech stocks and bought VGT Im pure VTI VGT and SGOV now. but not stopping til I retire at 58

>Protest. I have. >Disrupt the system. In what sense, join ICE and drag my feet? >Call your local politician and ask questions about what is happening. My local politicians in California are just as neutered as the rest of us constituents.

Oh man look at the PLUNGE $MGM took from the 08 market collapse. Staggering.

NowGoodbyeForever

Yup, you're right. I was thinking of Bet MGM, which is more recent and (as of right now) is only in a couple of EU countries. Given that it's straight up a live feed to casinos, and the state of US relations right now, it seems incredibly likely that US companies trying to make inroads abroad will get way more pushback than they did previously.

NowGoodbyeForever

Yup, this is it. The push by Online Sports Betting Lobbyists has been unreal, as someone who follows this stuff both personally and professionally. I have a friend who works for one of the main ones, and their hiring drives have been massive; I'm talking hundreds of people in the last couple of quarters. Vegas as a city propped up by its casinos and tourist destinations will suffer, and possibly even die due to all of the completely dumbass policy decisions from the Trump Regime. But the casino owners themselves are smoothly working to consolidate all sports and actual betting underneath their infrastructure and names. If Bet MGM can get into every phone in North America, it doesn't matter that their physical casinos become ghost towns. And there's no pushback; every major sports league has rolled over and plastered Draft Kings ads across their arenas, and commentators take a break to shout out their Fan Duel picks of the night. This can all be brought to a screeching halt by legislation and laws banning it, but this doesn't seem likely under the current administration. So growth is probably limited to US/CAN (there's no way in hell the EU lets this fly), but still.

MGM is making all its money online these days. Also, looks like recently they had gains in their regional properties outside Vegas. Why go to Vegas when you can gamble at home? https://www.reuters.com/business/mgm-resorts-quarterly-revenue-rises-sports-betting-strength-2025-07-30/

LVS and MGM leap puts, thank me later

Good luck OP! As a long-term Lionsgate bull off-on (though currently no stake), I'll toss in some headwinds/tailwinds for any folks who are contemplating **Tailwinds:** * One of few remaining mini-major free-radicals left in media. Acquisition prices keep raising. Examples 2016: Dreamworks Animation ($DWA) $3.8B by Comcast. 2019: eOne $4B by Hasbro, allegedly after Lionsgate turned Hasbro down. 2021: MGM $8.45B by Amazon * The back catalog library is top-tier. Even Dirty Dancing continues to spin revenue * Lionsgate finally split off Starz, as the destinations for Starz and Lionsgate are different buyers * Lionsgate has production savvy and knowledge of making stuff on budget, worth something for big-but-inexperienced players like Apple that torch piles of cash flopping around to try to build original content * Decent upcoming box slate: Ballerina, Michael Jackson biopic, another Hunger Games, The Long Walk, another The Strangers, another Now You See Me * Mark Rachesky, with his massive Lionsgate stake, quietly plays the long game. Funny enough, I played Telesat years ago entirely because of his built-up stake in that. He saw the need for ASTS-style satellite stuff way before others did **Headwinds:** * I feel the Liongate execs and board like being part of the Hollywood red-carpet game, thus seem to drag their feet in selling. Lionsgate had its share of corporate raid attempts, and ticker LGF split into LGF.A and LGF.B to prevent unwanted takeovers even if in the interest of shareholders * Movie/streaming sector has struggled post-CoVid, though now somewhat rising out of the ashes * Mark Rachesky may just refuse to sell for a realistic price. If there was indeed a $40/share LGF.A offer from Hasbro back in 2019, he and his team didn't seem even that was high enough back then. I feel this cycle though, he may indeed sell if price is right Anyways good luck to OP and any other players in the game. *May the options be ever in your favor*

$MGM is the play. It's retarded but just might work

MGM

MGM puts.

NBAFAN2000

To be honest a lot of media companies consolidated to avoid getting killed off in the 10 years since Netflix really took off so I'm not sure this is the point you're trying to make re: owning IP. Fox sold its media assets to Disney, MGM sold to Amazon, Skydance/Paramount, AT&T bought Warner then spun it off to Discovery etc.

MGM puts to play CZR earnings?

LiquefactionAction

You are right. I would expand a bit: MGM, Cosmo, I think Caesar and others have also sold off their *land* that their casinos and brands are on to private equity and hedge funds the past 15 years. That means they no longer own their most valuable assets *and* have to pay rents to the Blackstones and other hedgies at, increasingly high prices. All those Resort Fees and Pay4Parking and minimum tables and pay for a mini fridge and pay for hot water and no more comps etc etc basically can't be removed or ever go back down because they have to keep meeting increasing lease costs. When people talk about doom spirals and what not, the big LV casinos are a really good case study because they've made their own bed and literally can't attract people back because they can't lower prices means they have to keep raising them which also just further drives people away. Throw on all the geopolitical aspects like foreign tourism plummeting over fears of ICE and extrajudicial searches at airports, and that you can find MUCH *nicer* high-quality gambling resorts in big asian and ME cities, and you can also gamble from the comforts of your own home on Robinhood or Fanduel or whatever you'd desire, it's cooked. More cooked than ever. Shitcos are correct.

crayon eaters, puts on MGM

Of course he is. Just like Ellison (& son) owning Paramount/CBS. He already owns MGM studios. If he buys Comcast who owns NBC, MSNBC, Telemundo, he will also own Universal. This is the plan. Soon they will own most services. In Canada, Post Media (which operates as a 'Canadian company', but is 70% owned by Chatham Asset Management a US hedge fund) owns 100 publications across Canada.
