Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Consumer Discretionary is in expansion. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.

View RiskMGM's growth relies on strong performance in Las Vegas and digital expansion. Revenue grew 1% year over year, but the latest quarter missed expectations. It trades at 14× P/E versus a 15× peer median, indicating modest growth expectations compared to our view. The primary risk is the potential for MGM to cut guidance, which could negatively impact estimates. Peer multiples imply a price about 43% above where it trades. Our read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. MGM is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

Our valuation methods disagree too much on this name right now. Rather than print a number we don't believe, we're holding it back until they converge.
