Valuing MGM Resorts International stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MGM Resorts International's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
MGM Resorts International's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, MGM Resorts International shares trade at around 10x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
MGM Resorts International's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.1999. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into MGM Resorts International's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
MGM Resorts International's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$762.6 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a MGM Resorts International's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 21.1 million MGM Resorts International shares held short by investors – that's known as MGM Resorts International's "short interest". This figure is 34.2% down from 32.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting MGM Resorts International shares can be evaluated.
MGM Resorts International's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MGM Resorts International shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MGM Resorts International shares traded daily (recently around 7.8 million). MGM Resorts International's SIR currently stands at 2.72. In other words for every 100,000 MGM Resorts International shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2720 shares are currently held short.
However MGM Resorts International's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MGM Resorts International shares, or, against the total number of tradable MGM Resorts International shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MGM Resorts International's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MGM Resorts International shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0581% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MGM Resorts International shares, roughly 58 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against MGM Resorts International.

Dividend payout ratio: 10.48% of net profits
Recently MGM Resorts International has paid out, on average, around 10.48% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.03% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MGM Resorts International shareholders could enjoy a 0.03% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MGM Resorts International's case, that would currently equate to about $0.01 per share.
While MGM Resorts International's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that MGM Resorts International is investing more in its future growth.
MGM Resorts International's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 December 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
MGM Resorts International's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 May 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your MGM Resorts International shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MGM Resorts International shares which in turn could have impacted MGM Resorts International's share price.
Over the last 12 months, MGM Resorts International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.8983 up to $33.6306. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while MGM Resorts International's is 2.4354. This would suggest that MGM Resorts International's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
