Barry Diller's $12.4B cash bid for MGM — ride the takeover premium

Billionaire Barry Diller's company just made a $12.4 billion all-cash offer to buy MGM Resorts, making a bold bet that Las Vegas tourism is poised for a strong comeback.

Idea

When a cash takeover bid lands, the target's stock usually climbs toward the offer price as the deal progresses and other bidders may emerge. Diller is betting that Vegas tourism, which has been uneven, is turning a corner. Even if the deal takes months, the bid sets a floor under MGM's share price. Rival casino operators like Caesars and Las Vegas Sands could also catch a lift as investors re-evaluate the whole sector.
