with an Outperform rating and $25.00 price target. In the report, FBR Capital Markets noted, “We are initiating coverage of MGM Resorts International (MGM) with an Outperform rating and a $25 price target. While there was disappointment around 3Q results, we see several positives: (1) strip EBITDA totaled just 60% of the peak, and that leaves a lot of room for the stock; (2) the company is positioned to benefit from the ongoing growth in Macau through its 51% stake in MGM China and a 2016 Cotai opening; (3) strip recovery, dividends from MGM China Holdings, and refinancing efforts should yield ongoing balance sheet improvements; and (4) MGM is in the running for licenses in Massachusetts and Maryland.” MGM Resorts International closed on Tuesday at $19.26.
