MGM Resorts International shattered expectations in Q2 2025, posting its highest-ever revenue of $4.4 billion, comfortably exceeding analyst projections of $4.31 billion. The casino giant reported earnings per share of $0.79, outperforming forecasts by an impressive 44% compared to the anticipated $0.55. Despite these stellar results, the stock responded cautiously in after-hours trading, dipping slightly by 0.67% to $37.16. The company’s Macau operations emerged as the standout performer, achieving record adjusted EBITDAR and expanding market share to 16.6% – the largest sequential growth among all concessionaires in the region. The focus on premium customers continues to yield dividends, with all 28 villas at MGM Macau now available and plans for 63 additional suites at MGM Cotai by 2026.
Digital and Domestic Performance
The company’s digital ventures continue their upward trajectory, with BetMGM raising its annual forecast to at least $2.7 billion in net revenue after posting 36% growth and $86 million in EBITDA. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas operations presented mixed results, with luxury properties achieving record table game and slot machine performance while renovations at MGM Grand negatively impacted overall figures. Management expressed optimism about Q4 recovery, bolstered by increasing reservation trends and the Formula 1 return to Las Vegas in November. The company has moderated its share repurchase program, buying back 8 million shares for $217 million in Q2, as it redirects focus toward development projects in Japan, Dubai, and potentially New York.
