MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) traded at approximately $28 per share in early 2026, down from a post-pandemic high near $50 in 2021. The stock has underperformed the broader market for two consecutive years as higher interest costs and softer regional gaming demand weigh on earnings expectations.
