Investors in MGM Resorts confront a setback as the proposed acquisition by Barry Diller’s media firm People has been abandoned. The withdrawal sent MGM’s share price tumbling, noted by Barron’s, which said the stock dive followed the collapse of the deal even as the analyst still viewed the company as a solid investment.
Barron’s analysis also noted that despite the price fall, the firm’s fundamentals remain attractive, and the outlet argued the stock could present a buying opportunity. KLAS 8 News Now confirmed the offer’s termination, leaving MGM Resorts to operate without the anticipated change of control.
