MGM Stock in enough to handle Macau
MGM Resorts International, which owns 56% of MGM China shares, has faced falling prices in Macau, however the shares have everything they need to withstand the current unrest in the biggest casino center in the region of Asia-Pacific.
Las Vegas Strip’s shares have lost a fourth of their own cost since the beginning of the year – an indicator that can reflect many factors. Fundamentally certain market members will take into account the fact that Macau’s gross gambling revenue will not showcase any development till next year.

commented Jacky Wong.
MGM China has so far held out against important funds in the region. Luckily, MGM has more outlets to balance risks in China than in other American companies working there.
Previously MGM used to have a direct bet on Macau. Until now MGM share in China accounted for up to a 3rd of the Bellagio operator’s market capitalization, however today, it has fallen by about 8%.
Clearly this is a signal of a decline in the market value of the Chinese division, but also a sign that investors prefer Las Vegas and BetMGM. The division of digital gaming operator BetMGM is the largest online casino in the USA and one of the leading operators of online bookmakers.
In addition, MGM showed Strip occupancy rates north of 90% for Q2, a number that is able to grow during next year as businesses are coming back to Las Vegas.
