The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $3.35 billion, suggesting growth of 9.6% from the year-ago quarter’s figure of $3.06 billion.
Factors to Note
The company’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from improvement in domestic operations, robust sports betting and pent-up demand. The company has also been benefiting from high domestic casino spending.
Recently, the company said that BetMGM ended fiscal 2022 on a strong note, establishing itself as the top player in this business in North America. The expected net revenues from operations of BetMGM in fiscal 2022 are $1.44 billion.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Las Vegas Strip and Regional operations’ revenues are pegged at $2,094 million and $917 million, suggesting year-over-year improvement of 15.9% and 1.9%, respectively. However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in MGM China segment is pegged at $141 million compared with $315 million reported in the prior-year quarter.
However, high cost is likely to have negatively impacted the company’s profit in the quarter-to-be reported. Dismal performance of the company’s Macau operation has also been affecting the company’s performance.
