Analysis · MGM · Real Estate & Construction
MGM Resorts delivered Q2 revenue of $4.50 billion, edging past the $4.42 billion consensus, while net income attributable to MGM surged to $292 million from $49 million a year ago. Yet a $111 million goodwill impairment in the MGM Digital segment and a second guidance cut from the BetMGM joint venture cloud the results. The company also completed the sale of MGM Northfield Park, generating a $255 million gain, and continued share buybacks. The earnings beat is positive, but the impairment and BetMGM weakness introduce caution.
