Barry Diller just bid $12.4 billion for MGM — grab the deal spread before it closes
Billionaire Barry Diller's company just made a $12.4 billion all-cash offer to buy MGM Resorts, essentially placing a huge bet that Las Vegas tourism is on the rebound after a rough patch.
Idea
When a credible buyer makes an all-cash takeover offer, the target stock typically rallies toward the bid price — and if it hasn't closed the gap yet, there's money on the table. Diller's $12.4 billion offer is a strong signal that a sophisticated investor sees MGM as undervalued. If the deal goes through, MGM holders get paid the full offer price. If a bidding war breaks out, the stock could go even higher. Even other casino stocks like Las Vegas Sands and Caesars may catch a tailwind as the market revalues the entire Vegas recovery theme.
