MGM Resorts Intl

MGM Resorts is the largest resort operator on the Las Vegas Strip with 37,000 guest rooms and suites, representing about one fourth of all units in the market. The company's Vegas properties include MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, Luxor, New York-New York, and Bellagio. The Strip contributed approximately 59% of total EBITDAR in 2024. MGM also owns US regional assets, which represented a low 20s share of 2024 EBITDAR (MGM's Macao EBITDAR was 21% of the total in 2024). MGM's US sports and i-gaming operations are currently a high-single-digit percentage of its total revenue. The company also operates the 56%-owned MGM China casinos with a new property that opened on the Cotai Strip in early 2018. We estimate MGM will open a resort in Japan in 2030.

MGM Resorts Announced That It Has Reached A New Employment Agreement With CEO & President Bill Hornbuckle Through December 31, 2028

Move over, dividends &#8211; corporate America is in love with itself again. According to JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, U.S. corporate share buybacks surged in April, marking the strongest monthly pace in years and reinforcing their role as a stabilizing force <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/volatility">in volatile markets</a>.
May has kicked off with a fresh surge of stock buyback announcements, and it's not just a sprinkle &#8211; it's a full-blown cash confetti storm. Repurchase plans announced since April 1 now add up to $262 billion, suggesting companies are favoring ploughing extra cash into buybacks over, say, dividend payments.
Panigirtzoglou notes that this contrarian pattern &#8211; where buybacks ramp up following equity market corrections &#8211; was similarly evident during the Silicon Valley Bank crisis two years ago (the SVB collapsed in March 2023) and the early stages of the Ukraine war.
He notes that corporate repurchases complemented a rebound in equity-focused hedge fund positioning, which had previously de-risked in February and March, further amplifying April&#8217;s V-shaped equity recovery.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple, Alphabet, Wells Fargo Leading Corporate Buybacks</h2>
Leading the parade is Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), flexing its financial muscles with a jaw-dropping $100 billion buyback—because, apparently, having a $2.7 trillion market cap wasn't enough self-confidence. This is no fluke; it's an "additional" buyback, which means Apple's just topping off a long-standing habit of hoarding its own stock like it&#8217;s going out of style.
Hot on its heels is Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) with a $70 billion share repurchase. Google may have axed cookies, but it's still baking up returns for shareholders in bulk.
Not to be outdone, Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) is pouring $40 billion into its own stock. After years of reputational rehab, the bank seems ready to bet on itself &#8211; in a very big way.
And it&#8217;s not just the mega-caps feeling themselves. KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) dropped a $5 billion mic, Dick's Sporting Goods Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) entered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44246625/dicks-sporting-beats-q4-earnings-stock-falls-amid-soft-outlook">game with $3 billion</a>, and Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) is scooping up $3.5 billion of its shares &#8211; proving oil profits aren't just for gas stations and exec bonuses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech&#8217;s Buyback Binge</h2>
Tech is clearly in a buyback binge: Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/04/44674899/broadcom-stock-jumps-on-10-billion-buyback-authorization">announced $10 billion</a> in early April, and Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) followed suit with its own <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/03/44218819/applied-materials-hikes-dividend-for-8th-year-greenlights-10-billion-buyback-to-reward-investors">$10 billion plan</a>. 
Meanwhile, Align Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>) flashed its smile with a fresh $1 billion authorization, maybe to offset Invisalign's market volatility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Stocks &#8211; Not Far Behind</h2>
There's also action in the consumer and industrial space. Graphic Packaging Holding Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPK#NYSE">GPK</a>), Ingersoll Rand Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IR#NYSE">IR</a>), and Cirrus Logic Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRUS#NASDAQ">CRUS</a>) all made $500 million–$1.5 billion commitments. 
Even MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) got in on the game with a $2 billion plan &#8211; perhaps betting on itself while its visitors bet on the slots.
The pattern is clear: buybacks are back with a vengeance. Whether it&#8217;s to boost EPS, signal confidence, or fend off activist investors, companies are scooping up shares at a pace that has investors sitting up &#8211; and short sellers sweating.
Bottom line? When the biggest names in business are buying their own stock, it might be time for investors to take notice—before the buyback wave pushes prices even higher.

MGM Resorts International's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) short percent of float has risen 31.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 22.18 million shares sold short, which is 10.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.7 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746712834_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for MGM Resorts International has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing MGM Resorts International's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, MGM Resorts International's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.50%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Macquarie Maintains Outperform on MGM Resorts International, Lowers Price Target to $48

BofA Securities analyst Shaun C. Kelley on Thursday put forth an analysis of the Gaming companies, Caesars Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) and MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) whose first-quarter results were announced this week.
The analyst reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of CZR and MGM and with a price forecast of $32.00 and $35.00 respectively. 
Caesars (CZR) delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/45086887/caesars-entertainment-reports-q1-earnings-company-targets-accelerated-free-cash-flow-in-2025">strong first-quarter results</a>, with revenue and EBITDA meeting expectations. Las Vegas and regional performance were solid, aided by cost controls and resilient demand. 
Caesars Digital outperformed, posting $43 million in EBITDA, with iGaming growing faster than the market and OSB showing improved trends.

The company is prioritizing profitability over volume, keeping promotional spending well below industry averages.
MGM reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45117287/mgm-resorts-international-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-and-operating-results">strong first-quarter</a> with revenue and EBITDA slightly above expectations, led by solid Las Vegas performance and cost control. 
April saw record room revenue, and demand appears stable heading into second-quarter. MGM China also outperformed on margins. 
BetMGM showed strong growth with reduced promotions. Despite peers slowing development, MGM remains committed to projects in Japan and New York, increasing its Osaka investment forecast, opined the analyst.
Despite a slightly shorter booking window, MGM saw record April hotel revenue, while CZR reported strong forward bookings. 
Consumer demand appears resilient, noted the analyst. MGM shares rose post-earnings, CZR dipped slightly. 
Price Action: MGM shares traded lower by 2.38% at $30.71 at last check Thursday.

MGM Resorts Intl Q1 Adj. EPS $0.69 Beats $0.46 Estimate, Sales $4.28B Miss $4.30B Estimate

Wall Street traded lower on the final session of the month, heading for its third consecutive monthly loss as economic data began reflecting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">impact of Trump tariffs.</a>
U.S. GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter, marking the first economic contraction since 2022 and missing forecasts for a 0.4% expansion. The decline was driven by a surge in imports and reduced government spending.
Labor market data also disappointed. The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 62,000 jobs in April—the weakest gain in nine months and well below the expected 108,000.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 1% to 5,500, on pace to end a six-day winning streak. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 lagged ahead of earnings from industry titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.
Nine of the S&amp;P 500's eleven sectors were in the red, with only consumer staples and health care posting modest gains. Energy and consumer discretionary led the losses, falling 3.3% and 2.7%, respectively.
Commodities were broadly lower. Oil tumbled 3.7% to $58 a barrel, approaching its lowest close since March 2021. Copper—often seen as a gauge of global growth—plunged 5.2% to $4.60 per pound. Natural gas declined 2.5% to $3.17 per million British thermal units.
Bond markets were steady, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering at 4.17%. Gold dipped 0.3% to $3,330 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened by the same margin.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed resilience, holding steady at around $93,000 despite broader market weakness.

Key Takeaway:
MGM Resorts Intl ranks at the bottom for Revenue Growth among its peers. It is in the middle for Gross Profit and Return on Equity.
<h3>Discovering MGM Resorts Intl: A Closer Look</h3>
MGM Resorts is the largest resort operator on the Las Vegas Strip with 37,000 guest rooms and suites, representing about one fourth of all units in the market. The company's Vegas properties include MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, Luxor, New York-New York, and Bellagio. The Strip contributed approximately 59% of total EBITDAR in 2024. MGM also owns US regional assets, which represented a low 20s share of 2024 EBITDAR (MGM's Macao EBITDAR was 21% of the total in 2024). MGM's US sports and i-gaming operations are currently a high-single-digit percentage of its total revenue. The company also operates the 56%-owned MGM China casinos with a new property that opened on the Cotai Strip in early 2018. We estimate MGM will open a resort in Japan in 2030.
<h3>Financial Insights: MGM Resorts Intl</h3>

Negative Revenue Trend: Examining MGM Resorts Intl's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 31 December, 2024, the company experienced a decline of approximately -0.66% in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings.

MGM Resorts Intl's Earnings Outlook

The 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has the chance to make some history of its own, following up on several records set in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o">2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.</a>
Here's a look at how to watch the 2025 NFL Draft, the draft order, betting trends and more.
How to Watch the 2025 NFL Draft: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nfl-draft">2025 NFL Draft</a> is spread across three days of coverage from April 24 to April 26. Here are the coverage rounds
<ul>
<li>First Round: Thursday, 8 p.m. ET</li>
<li>Second Round &amp; Third Round: Friday, 7 p.m. ET</li>
<li>Fourth through Seventh Rounds: Saturday, 12 p.m. ET</li>
</ul>
Coverage of the NFL Draft is hosted by ESPN, ESPN+ and ABC, which are units of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>). Viewers can also watch draft coverage on the NFL Network, NFL+, Hulu+ and YouTubeTV.

2025 NFL Draft Order: There have been no trades made in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft as of the time of writing, which could set records. No draft in the modern era, dating back to 1967, has begun with every team having their first round pick.
Last year's draft had several trades done before the first round began and a total of five more trades were made involving first-round picks during the first round.
Many experts expect trades to come, the question is if they will happen before the draft begins at 8 p.m. ET or once the first round begins. The Browns (#2) and Giants (#3) have indicated this week that they are open to trading their top picks if the price is right.

Betting Trends to Know: The 2025 NFL Draft is expected to be a big event for sports betting companies like DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>) and MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>).
Betting platforms offer bets on each draft pick number, over/unders on when a player will be taken, props on the number of a position taken in the first round and some head-to-head battles.
Here are the current betting favorites at the top 10 positions based on odds from BetMGM, as <a href="https://x.com/BFawkes22/status/1915397036947411407">shared </a>by Ben Fawkes on X.
<ol>
<li>Cam Ward (QB): -10,000</li>
<li>Travis Hunter (WR/CB): -2,500</li>
<li>Abdul Carter (Edge): -2,000</li>
<li>Will Campbell (OT): -800</li>
<li>Ashton Jeanty (RB): -250</li>
<li>Kelvin Banks Jr. (OT): +125</li>
<li>Armand Membou (OT): +225</li>
<li>Mason Graham (DT): +170</li>
<li>Mykel Williams (Edge): +200</li>
<li>Tyler Warren (TE): +325</li>
</ol>
Based on the betting odds, it doesn't look like there is much uncertainty until it gets to the sixth pick, barring any trades of top five picks.
This draft order and selections would also differ greatly from last year's NFL Draft when offense and quarterbacks were the name of the game in the first round.
Last year set a record with offensive players taken with the first 14 picks and 23 of the 32 first-round picks overall. Last year's first round also tied a record with six quarterbacks taken in the first round, including the top three straight picks for the fourth time in history.
Defensive players are likely to go in the first 10 picks and the quarterback position is not nearly as popular in the 2025 NFL Draft.
In fact, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has fallen back in mock drafts and betting odds after previously being a top-five consensus pick. The over/under moved from 8.5 to 21.5 at some sportsbooks. While many still see Sanders going in the first round, he might have to wait some time to hear his name called.
Ward has odds of -10,000 to go first overall and be the first quarterback off the board. This means betting $100 would turn into a $101 win for a profit of $1.
Other top quarterback prospects are Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe, who like Sanders will be competing to get their name called later in the first round.
BetMGM's John Ewing <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1915416690822975567">said </a>these are the most popular bets at BetMGM:
<ul>
<li>Cam Ward 1st pick: -10,000</li>
<li>Tetairoa McMillan 1st WR drafted: -300</li>
<li>Saints 1st pick is a QB: +425</li>
<li>Over 2.5 QBs drafted in 1st Round: -165</li>
<li>Tyler Warren 1st TE drafted: -400</li>
</ul>
Betting on the rookie of the year will likely be a popular future bet after the 2025 NFL Draft. Last year, Caleb Williams was the early favorite to win offensive rookie of the year after going first overall. It was Jayden Daniels, the second overall pick, who won offensive rookie of the year after starting with odds of +650 at DraftKings.
Similarly, Jared Verse (edge), who ranked fourth at +1,100 odds after the NFL Draft, ended up the defensive rookie of the year for the 2024 NFL season.
