MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle Puts Kibosh on Revisiting Entain Bid

MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) is unlikely to revisit a takeover bid for Entain Plc (OTC: GMVHY) — its partner in the BetMGM business.

MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle made comments to that effect on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings conference Wednesday afternoon, saying “we’ve moved on” in response to a question from Bank of America analyst Shaun Kelley.

So for now, the answer is no, not within Entain. We’re going to go down our own direction, and we begin to allocate capital,” said Hornbuckle. “We value the relationship with Entain. We value BetMGM. But as it comes to rest of the world, we’re going to move forward with a different proposition.”
 
I support MGM CEO position on the case of Entain. What is the essence of sustaining takeover bid of Entain plc when its own subsidiary firm of BetMGM is capable of self sufficient. The immediate financial records of BetMGM shows it doesn't need assistance from Entain plc.
