Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about MGM Resorts International stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "MGM Resorts’ second-quarter 2017 adjusted earnings of $0.31 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.7% and rose 19.2% year over year on higher revenues. Total revenue of $2.64 billion lagged the consensus mark by around 1% but rose 16.4% year over year. Higher revenues from its Las Vegas operations were partially offset by weak results at MGM China. Thus, despite the improving gaming trends, it will take some time for the company to fully capitalize on the rebound in Macau gaming revenues. In fact, MGM Resorts’ shares have underperformed the industry year to date. Fears of another corruption crackdown may further hamper performance. Even so, the company’s strong portfolio, new resort openings and focus on non-gaming activities bode well. Improving economy and growing tourism in Las Vegas should also drive revenue growth at its properties in the region. Yet, increased competition and debt pressure are concerns." (7/28/2017)
• 2. Instinet analysts commented, "The level of vitriol towards MGM post its 4Q16 muff has risen to a level that reminds us of NCLH after it missed and lowered in 3Q last year. MGM is off 8% YTD vs. a 6% gain for the S&P 500 and +8% for the S&P Hotels, Resorts & Cruise Lines Index, and its forward EBITDA multiple has contracted to a near low of 9x. In our view, though, the $1.5b in MGM's lost market cap is an opportunity for investors who, like us, believe in the pricing power of Vegas as well as improving visibility of MGM's free cash flow. Just as when we wrote on NCLH last August, we believe there is 23% upside in MGM's stock from current levels. In this note, we argue that consensus RevPAR estimates for 2017 are reasonable at +4-5%, but that the Street's expectation for higher RevPAR in 2Q and lower in 3Q should be inverted. We expect 2Q to be more challenged (+2% y/y) due to the Easter shift (consensus is over 4%), but 3Q should be at least 3% (versus buy-side consensus of 0-1%)." (3/16/2017)
• 3. Aegis analysts commented, "MGM put itself in the 'show-me' category yesterday, essentially calling out 3Q16 and 4Q15 as somewhat lower-quality, boosted by calendar and one-time events which created 4Q16 expectations that were too high. The stock's saving grace is valuation, now at 11.1x/9.8x CY17/CY18 EV/EBITDA, a peer low (downside from current prices likely minimal). However, we struggle to find a catalyst outside of upcoming 1Q17 results under reset expectations and expect shares to be range-bound near-term. Longer-term, nothing is broken and the strong Las Vegas backdrop and Macau recovery tailwinds remain. However, investors will likely have to wait longer (we believe 1Q17 report) to begin to see true upward stock momentum." (2/17/2017)
