Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) price target of $16.00.
Analyst, Harry Curtis, said, "Our long-term thesis of Strip RevPAR recovery is intact, where we continue to look for ~6% YoY RevPAR growth in 2012. In addition, we believe convention rates are also up mid-single digits. However, we are lowering our Strip margin estimate given 1Q’s flow thru (we estimate below 50%), and our F12 EBITDA margin goes from 24.3% to 23.2%. We expect strong trends in Macau to continue and approval of its Cotai land application in the next 6 months. We maintain our Buy rating and $16 PT. Rolling forward our valuation onto our 2013 estimates imply a $20 PT."
