CASE STUDY: $MGM (MGM Resorts)
$MGM (MGM Resorts)On March 27, 2019 MGM Resorts International ($MGM) commenced an underwritten offering for $500 million of its senior notes. The offering’s prospectus included a negative statement concerning $MGM’s 1Q19 earnings. This information was also disclosed in a Form 8-K report filed with the SEC that morning.
At 9:41:28 am Hammerstone posted the $MGM Form 8-K’s “forward looking” statement verbatim and added context by summarizing that “Q1 earnings will be hurt” and telling subscribers to watch MGM’s competitors, Wynn Resorts Ltd. ($WYNN) and Las Vegas Sands Corp. ($LVS) additionally. Over the next 2 hours Hammerstone circles back to the 3 casino companies 3 times as they continued to sell off $MGM’s weak Q1 outlook.
