Why should I read this?
Short version: if you follow casino stocks, travel & leisure recovery or the broader gaming market, this is worth a quick skim. MGM not only posted stronger quarterly margins and earnings, it also shows where growth is actually coming from (China, digital and regional ops) and has cash/authorised buybacks to back shareholder returns. We read the numbers so you don’t have to — quick facts, clear takeaways, no fluff.
