BofA Adjusts Rating on MGM Resorts to Neutral Following Withdrawal of Takeover Offer by People Inc.
MGM Resorts was downgraded to a neutral rating by Bank of America (BofA) following the withdrawal of Barry Diller's People Inc.'s takeover offer. The move came after People Inc., which had previously expressed interest in acquiring MGM, decided not to proceed with its bid. The news led to an 11% drop in premarket trading for MGM Resorts shares as investors reacted negatively to the cancellation of what was seen as a potential strategic opportunity. Analysts at BofA cited uncertainty around future developments and reduced investor confidence as reasons behind their revised stance on the stock.
