MGM Resorts Q4 Earnings & Revenues Top Estimates, Rise Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
MGM posted Q4 EPS of $1.60 and revenues of $4.61B, both topping estimates and rising year over year.
MGM China drove growth as Q4 revenues rose 21% and EBITDAR hit a record $332M on strong premium-mass demand.
MGM Digital revenues climbed to $188M in Q4, with EBITDAR loss narrowing to about $7M from last year.
MGM Resorts International (MGM - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. On a year-over-year basis, both the top and bottom lines increased.
MGM Resorts’ fourth-quarter results were supported by solid performance across several business segments, particularly Macau, digital operations and regional casinos. MGM China remained a key growth driver, with segment-adjusted EBITDAR reaching record levels, supported by strong premium-mass customer demand and market-share gains. Results also benefited from an improved convention mix in Las Vegas, the completion of the MGM Grand room renovation late in the quarter, favorable table-game hold and continued cost-efficiency gains driven by technology adoption.
However, Las Vegas performance remained under pressure, reflecting the lingering impact of renovation-related room disruptions throughout much of 2025 and softer spending trends among value-oriented customers, particularly at Luxor and Excalibur.
Shares of MGM lost 0.8% after trading hours yesterday.
