Buy The Dip In MGM Resorts Stock?

Despite macroeconomic headwinds from the Russia-Ukraine war and skyrocketing inflation, the shares of MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) declined by just 12% since early February. This can largely be attributed to the popularity of the company’s sports betting application, BetMGM, and temporary extension of casino licenses in Macau. Notably, the company’s China arm contributes around 20% of total revenues and profits. Moreover, there is an expectation of a complete recovery in MGM Resorts’ revenues in 2022. Per Trefis machine learning engine which analyzes historical stock price movements, MGM stock has a 74% chance of a rise over the next month (21 trading days).
