MGM Resorts International - September 2026
“People Inc. and MGM Resorts – Digital and print publisher People Inc. was a detractor in the quarter, while hospitality and entertainment company MGM Resorts also detracted. We continue to have a higher weighting in People than MGM. Earlier in the quarter, People Inc. had a good earnings report that highlighted their continued progress towards simplifying the company, and MGM had a decent quarter where Regionals posted all-time high revenues and Las Vegas grew revenues for the second 5 quarter in a row. Near quarter-end, People Inc. announced that they were pulling their offer to acquire a majority stake in MGM. This, combined with weaker recent trends in Las Vegas, led to MGM selling off to a price far below the price prior to the People Inc. offer. The following day, news broke that MGM is looking at acquiring People Inc.”
