Key Figures
Historical Context

|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 20 | Experiential promotion | Positive | +0.9% | Launch of Drink Las Vegas festival with VIP culinary and cocktail experiences. |
| May 08 | Media partnership promo | Positive | +1.8% | Record single-game win tied to BetMGM–Fremantle “The Price Is Right” partnership. |
| Apr 29 | Subsidiary earnings | Positive | -0.8% | MGM China Q1 2026 revenue and EBITDA growth with strong Macau visitation. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent promotional and partnership news (e.g., events, media tie-ins) has coincided with modest gains, while fundamentally positive earnings updates have sometimes seen negative next-day moves, indicating occasional sell-the-news behavior.
Over the past few months, MGM has highlighted experiential and digital growth initiatives. On Apr 29, it reported Q1 2026 results with $4.5 billion in consolidated net revenues and positive BetMGM operating income, yet the stock fell 0.84%. MGM China’s strong Q1, also on Apr 29, likewise saw a 0.84% decline. In contrast, promotional tie-ins like the record-breaking “Price Is Right” win on May 8 and the Drink Las Vegas festival on May 20 were followed by smaller gains of 1.78% and 0.92%. Today’s large move comes alongside a new fan-focused sweepstakes.
