Maxim Manturov, head of investment research at Freedom Finance Europe, says: “Through its subsidiaries, MGM Resorts International is the largest operator on the Las Vegas Strip, accounting for numerous properties in the area and owning and running a collection of integrated casinos, hotels and entertainment resorts.
“The company’s properties in Las Vegas include the Aria, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Luxor, New York New York, Excalibur, and Park MGM which, between them, accounted for 54.5% of total earnings before EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and rent costs). MGM also benefits from other regional assets spread across the US.”
Mr Manturov says: “The company also owns a 50% stake in BetMGM LLC, which is focused on the development of online gambling and sports betting. In autumn 2022, BetMGM acquired the Stockholm-headquartered global online gambling company LeoVegas for $601 million.”
“The acquisition will further extend MGM’s international development in the digital gaming and sports betting industry through LeoVegas’ licences in eight jurisdictions, primarily in Northern Europe.”
He adds: “In September 2021, it was announced that MGM had been selected as a partner for the implementation of integrated resorts in Japan. It is expected that licences for integrated resorts will be issued in the near future. MGM management expects an opening date in the second half of the 2020s. The predicted annual volume of visitors to the resort is about 20 million people.
“With continued growth throughout the years, MGM has a strong portfolio in the travel/tourism market which should catch the attention of potential investors.”
