MGM Resorts just received an all-cash buyout offer from a company called People Inc. When a cash takeover bid lands, the target stock typically jumps toward the offer price and rival casino stocks sometimes catch a lift too on speculation they could be next.

## Idea

An all-cash takeover bid sets a clear floor under MGM's share price because buyers step in to capture the spread between the current price and the offer price. If the deal looks likely to close, the stock should grind upward toward the bid level. Even if the deal stalls, the mere fact that MGM is in play can keep a bid under the shares. Rival casino operators like Caesars and Las Vegas Sands could also benefit as investors start wondering who is next in line for a buyout.
