MGM Resorts beats revenue estimates as Las Vegas operations grow
Corporate travel is helping steady demand on the Las Vegas Strip as casino and hotel operators seek growth beyond uneven leisure spending. MGM Resorts International reports second-quarter revenue above analyst estimates, supported by stronger resort sales in its core Nevada market.
Highlights
- MGM Resorts' Las Vegas Strip resort sales rose 3% to $2.2 billion in Q2, driving total revenue to $4.45 billion, above the $4.42 billion estimate.
- Regional segment revenues fell 4% to $924 million, with softness in Detroit and Atlantic City contrasting Las Vegas' convention-led gain.
- Adjusted quarterly profit reached 59 cents per share, exceeding the 57-cent analyst estimate, as MGM shifts focus toward group bookings and corporate events.
Las Vegas growth supports quarterly results
As reported by Reuters, MGM says its Las Vegas business returns to top-line growth for the first time in six quarters, with management pointing to a pickup in business travel tied to conferences and trade conventions. CEO Bill Hornbuckle says on the post-earnings conference call that the company is targeting more events for technology groups and is hosting Google and Cisco over the summer.Sales at Las Vegas Strip resorts rise 3% to $2.2 billion in the second quarter. Total revenue reaches $4.45 billion, up from $4.40 billion a year earlier and above analysts' average estimate of $4.42 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Regional weakness contrasts with convention momentum
Outside Las Vegas, MGM's regional segment, which includes properties in Detroit and Atlantic City, records a 4% decline in sales to $924 million. The company still posts adjusted quarterly profit of 59 cents per share, ahead of the 57-cent estimate.The results suggest convention-driven demand is becoming a more important support for casino and hospitality operators in Las Vegas. That trend may help offset softer leisure patterns as operators focus more closely on higher-value corporate events and group bookings.
Frontier’s improved earnings outlook highlighted how stronger pricing and resilient travel demand are lifting results after Spirit Airlines’ exit from the U.S. market, even as higher jet fuel costs keep pressure on margins.
