UPDATE: Credit Suisse Starts MGM Resorts (MGM) at Neutral
(updating comment)
Credit Suisse analyst Ben Combes initiates coverage on MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $15.00.
The analyst comments "We are Neutral rated on MGM given on our view of a slower recovery in Las Vegas. This position is based on its leverage to (1) fly-to guests whom we think may be slower to take long-haul flights, (2) new supply growth to Las Vegas, an area which for almost the last decade has experienced limited new capacity, and (3) leverage to corporate meetings/events which we think will operate on a lag due to both sales/planning and corporate earnings deceleration. A strong liquidity position ($6bn in cash) and ability to raise more capital (e.g., $0.7bn from MGP units) de-risks the story, however 2021 is likely not a bounce back year. While we expect robust growth in Macau in 2021, increased supply in Cotai, including a $5bn property opening near MGM Cotai (run by the Ho family) adds risk to the story."
