MGM Shares Slump Following Canceled Acquisition Bid as Wall Street Weighs In
Yahoo Finance ·
Shares of MGM Resorts International tumbled 9 percent on Thursday after Barry Diller’s People Incorporated withdrew its proposal to acquire the remaining public shares of the casino operator. Meanwhile, PPLI stock traded about 3 percent higher. Bank of America resumed coverage on MGM with a Neutral rating and a 40 dollar price target, pointing to near-term operating headwinds in Las Vegas, Macau, and digital segments. Mizuho trimmed its price target to 55 dollars from 60 dollars while keeping an Outperform rating, noting that the withdrawal of the roughly 48 dollars per share cash bid was hardly unexpected. Following the canceled takeover, MGM confirmed it will operate as an independent entity, leaning on its domestic properties, digital ventures, and international expansion plans in China and Osaka.
