MGM resorts International, Stock symbol, MGM, PE =197. Total debt to equity ratio: 11.7

When you say MGM hotels, do you mean MGM Resorts? Because they have been seeing slight revenue increases because of MGM China.

Wendy's Resturants, MGM hotels & Playboy. They are carrying too much debt on books.

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.

Just bought Draftkings. Guess, I am back into the mobstocks ... Not that I didn´t already own MGM Resorts ... XD

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

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.

While Etrade has been a thing. I did NOT hear 20 year olds talk about trading til robinhood and videostore craze. Thatsa also when I started trading at 34 after the 2020 crash. 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

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.

Rrrrandle

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

BrainsNotBrawndo

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 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.

fetusblender666

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.

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.

rbonk14

I think in understand that. They pay a dividend which means not much growth, I thjnk. I don’t get how a place that has a decent majority of Vegas gaming is so over leveraged. Just trying to understand. I’m ignorant to investing. Boyd, stations have decent pay tables. Wynn sells an experience. MGM has a REIT. Just trying to get a handle on it. MGM stock is not a great stock. Just trying to wrap my mind around Goldens book cooking. Thanks for any help.

So are you guys an MGM or Caesars Patron? Almost all the MGM Vegas properties are nice, while outside of Caesar’s all their properties are almost dumps imo Highly recommend the W At Mandalay Bay or if you want closer to the center the Waldorf it’s like 5 minutes to the casino at Aria. Bellagio great too lots of nice hookers in there I’m leaning more towards resort/chill places versus being in the middle of the shit the entire trip

I have an over 800% returns with Rolls Royce (RYCEY) in the last 5 years. They build jet engines, nuclear reactors, and a few other things that escape me. They can quite literally fly under the radar in military aircraft lol. They just reintroduced a dividend as well which is nice to have. Otherwise my favorite passive income stock is VICI. They are the arm of MGM that owns the land the resorts and casinos sit on so they get paid regardless of how well or poorly the business on them is doing. They halved during the pandemic buy bounced back (doubled my investment) and give a relatively large dividend of 5.26%. They are also relatively affordable to buy as a stock at under $32 a share.

farfromfine

F- LVS and Adelson.  Steve Wynn is cool, and MGM has always been good to me I was there late March and the strip was jam packed. Sphere was sold out.  The casino floors were moderate during the weekdays and extremely crowded on the weekend.   I assumed with sports betting being basically nationwide it would really hurt Vegas, and I guess it has from the reports I read, but my own personal experience it was busier than I have ever seen it and I used to go 5-10 times a year (ex pro poker player, hence F Adelson). Things like parking being extra expensive are true ($40/day at bellagio when we stayed) but it was still packed. If the cost was deferring people you'd think they would lower it? I was hearing all the doom and gloomy stories about Vegas dying before I went (for the first time in 5 years or so) but it was busier than ever when I was there late March

Sir this is the MGM.

Supposedly a multi-hotel complex like the Aria/Cosmo/Park MGM.

Any word on what MGM is replacing those two hotels with?

Learn basic strategy and go play the double deck blackjack game in the high limit room at Treasure Island. The house edge on that game with perfect basic strategy is minuscule. I say Treasure Island because the min bet will be reasonable. If you’re fucking rich and can handle the swings then go to an MGM property. Cosmo and Mandalay Bay have the same guy for reasonable limits ($100 min sometimes). Aria and Bellagio have the same game but the lowest you’ll see is $300 min.

I actually had to pay some taxes on gambling winnings last year. I was up 20k at MGM last year. This year I’m only up 5k at this point, haha.

Largest LSETH treasury of any publicly traded company, largest online gaming/casino network and contracts with MGM/DraftKings/others, co-founder of ETH on board as director, etc. A simple ChatGPT search will tell you all you need to know. SBET will be the MSTR of ETH but with shitcoin casinos and nft back pages lol.

Played a single zero roulette table at MGM Grand $50 minimum European rules Excellent deal compared to the garbage they usually offer. They are videotaping players now for foreign audiences 🤡 Hit black for $500 straight up 🤑

It also felt like all the non-premium casinos were on death's door to me. Places like the Bellagio and MGM Grand are still pretty nice, as well as all the new Wynn resorts on the north end of the strip.. but everything else seems like it's going to shit.

So what kinda shit can we launch at Iran right now? >Total U.S. Tomahawk inventory = roughly 4,000 remain available > AGM‑158 JASSM 7,500 rounds, plus another 3,360 JASSM‑ER extended‑range variants = ~10,860 total air‑launched cruise missiles >GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) = about 46,728 rockets delivered >ATACMS (MGM‑140 tactical ballistic missiles): roughly 2,500 missiles In total we have ~ 64,000 precision‑guided long‑range munitions (4,000 TLAM + 10,860 JASSM + 46,728 GMLRS + 2,500 ATACMS initial volley capacity likely in the 10,000–20,000 range

MGM is cocksuckers and won’t fly me out, yet the last time I went I was picked up in the MGM Royce cause it happened to be the available car, it’s retarded

S-Club-Party

MGM will pay for my flights and comps my smokes lmao

I agree. It doesn’t play a factor for me, even though I consider myself a strong moral person. Companies like FanDuel, DraftKings, MGM, and Philip Morris profit off addiction. They exploit addicts, skirt legal lines, and hurt families. Even non-vice stocks like Nestlé have faced accusations of benefiting from slave labor. At the end of the day, I’ll do what’s best for me and my family. Broad index funds offer the best shot at long-term compounding and building wealth. That’s how I justify it.

The streamers thoight they would end up filthy roch like Netflix, but they have essentially all bought high and sold low while simultaneously destroying their previous sales channels and customer loyalty.  The big studios, especially Disney,  killed cable by making it too expensive to justify and cord cutting began nearly immediately as the first streamers emerged. Streaming blunted the profit margin of Home Video so the Studios colluded to raise prices on DVDs & Blu Rays until consumers abandoned them to collectors. Theatrical releases got bludgeoned by exec short-sighted behavior too: tent poles drove the box office so execs pumped more money into all anticipated hits thus causing a feast or famine at the box office. To help successful movies gross more, the Studios pushed for higher and higher prices. To keep audiences engaged, theaters also invested in upgrading the experience and that priced out a lot of people. Plus many of the films stopped being seen as worth a ticket when you can just watch it via streaming later. The theatrical release exclusivity windows has also shrunk.  No popular films can be on something like Peacock or Paramount+ in weeks instead of months. This essentially cut the legs out from under the VOD rental market. Plus the death of Red Box means that even more rental revenue vanished.  In short, the push to streaming has been disasterous. Yet most major studios did it to avoid just being bought out by their richer new competitors like Apple and Netflix like when Amazon bought MGM.

ICE performed operations in Vegas that scooped dozens of illegal immigrants. Now MGM & CZR are pissed they have to hire actual Americans for jobs that elitist libs said nobody would take. It's news how many folks are applying. Brb, gotta get my 16th Covid booster

Hey aluminum did you end up selling MGM?

I recently found out MGM is an OG wsb stock. It’s my favorite site to gamble. Lifetime losses have to be like 100k+. Calls.

I’ve been in my career long enough and been with enough companies to know that the opportunities never run out. Not every opportunity is a slam dunk like my example, but they are there. 10 years ago I was in a meeting with an MGM Resorts executive and he described how they invested in consultants that found millions in savings. He said each hotel/casino used to have a team that did cutting of fruits for drinks, etc. Consultants found they’d have massive savings by having one central team do the work and distributing it to the various hotels/casinos. MGM had a bunch of really interesting tidbits. This was before all the sports team came, and they were instrumental in attracting the teams.

There is massive uncertainty in the market. And when a tweet can crash us or pump us 10% in a week, that’s not investing, that’s gambling. If I want to gamble, at least the MGM gives me free drinks.

These ransom demands blow my mind and really piss me off about how much money medical sectors are making off American citizens. The MGM casino ransom was $30M, this CB is $20M, Colonial Pipeline (biggest oil pipeline in U.S.) was $4.4M, JBS (worlds largest meat processing plant) was $11M. And the small/medium hospital my family works at was $180M. And they fuckin paid it!

Be careful I thought the same thing on MGM awhile ago. I'm going with GAMB calls, Q1 had March Madness and the Superbowl, they probably raked it in.

Look how casino stocks like MGM did last financial crisis. Went from 86$ to about two fifty. I wouldn't touch casino stocks right now.

Buy and hold won't be bad, might be a hot minute before it's 80 again though. MGM firing employees in Vegas and general downturn makes gambling a little wonky. P/E is less than 12 though so they have room to bounce around. Good for theta gang though.

My SWAG: Bezos / Amazon. Netflix is their top competitor. Netflix produces A LOT of content outside of the US. As an example, I'd wager Netflix is the primary driver for introducing most American's to the Korean horror genre. Amazon owns MGM now, who has TONS of assets in the US for producing America. With Bezos' $1million donation to Trump, he have a vested interest in seeing competition in many aspects of his tech empire hamstrung.

Sony is gonna buy Hollywood 😂  It is full circle in a way....did MGM get sold to Sony in one the first major Hollywood sell offs? Feel free to check me on this one....my source was Ron Perlman at a panel two months ago 😆

MGM laying off all staff from 3 of its resorts, I'm not surprised. That low grade weed stench as you walk down the strip is disgusting.
