Jefferies upgraded MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM) from Hold to Buy and raised their price target form $16 to $18
On Las Vegas the firm said, "Our view is that while consumer trends should continue to improve across all segments, the LV Strip market and regional gaming markets warrant a more bullish stance, particularly through 2012."
Recent data and channel checks suggest a positive shift in investment strategy for Las Vegas is warranted, they said. In addition, with cash flow generation levels of Las Vegas depressed, the expect a recovery over the next several quarters.
Jefferies said they believe MGM's financial profile has become neutral and should remain so through 2012. Other catalysts, such as a transaction for the company’s share of Borgata and IPO in Macau are generally priced into the shares and are unlikely to have a meaningful impact in either direction, according to the firm.
