Longleaf Partners Fund made the following comment about MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“Digital holding company IAC was the largest detractor in the quarter after reporting weak earnings, particularly at underlying holding Angi, which represents a relatively small (single-digit %) proportion of the value but has an outsized impact on IAC’s stock price. Casino and online gaming company MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) (which we also own directly and was a detractor in the quarter) comprises the largest portion of the IAC value. MGM faced multiple headwinds this quarter with a cyberattack that impacted all its properties and pending labor strikes in Las Vegas. Even with these events factored into our appraisal, MGM remains highly discounted today, and management is taking advantage of the price weakness to add value through meaningful share repurchase.”
