The position

Where BetMGM’s value sits

What the name is carrying, and the figures this company is tracked on.

The Brand Capital Score is 0 to 100. It is a weighted composite of the 6 drivers below. Every company on the board is scored on the same basis. What it answers: how much of this company’s worth is built by its brand and its customers, rather than bought each quarter.

BetMGM scores 80, brand equity 79. That is 5th of 21 operators, never the whole market, because a buyer shortlists three to five names. It is a position, not a grade.

Brand-capital position

Brand equity 79, below what MGM's hospitality brand equity would suggest. The translation from hotel/casino brand to online sportsbook brand is not seamless, MGM's associations (luxury, Las Vegas, VIP) are powerful but not perfectly aligned with sports betting's mass-market psychology.

What is being tracked
  • Q2 2026 (reported 28 Jul): net revenue $711M (+3% YoY), but adjusted EBITDA fell 14% to $74M. iGaming net revenue rose 8% to $483M, now about 70% of the group, while online sports was flat at $228M. Prediction-market competition, customer-friendly sport results, and heavier reinvestment carried the profit down. EVA read: the casino database and retention are the durable value; the sportsbook is the commoditising layer.
  • MGM Resorts parent: 30+ hotel properties as acquisition touchpoints
  • Present in 26 US states for sports betting and/or iGaming
  • Loyalty programme integrated with MGM Rewards (40M members)

▲ Reading BetMGM

BetMGM is performing ahead of its reputation. That gap is growth costing more than it should.

I grow your brand, your customers, and the money both return.

Your budget buys activity. I turn it into things that build over time: the price you can hold, the customers who stay, and what a buyer will pay for the business. Every move is specific, in order, and tied to a number.

The read in numbers

BetMGM against the board

Four views of one company — what the score is built from, how much of it is brand, who it is weighed against and which way it is moving. Hover any figure for what it means.

The driver scorecard
Revenue & growth 84
Brand equity 79
Product differentiation 78
Retention 78
Regulatory standing 82
Digital 80
Brand equity in rust.

The 6 things the composite is built from, each scored 0 to 100 on the same basis as every other company on the board.

Why it matters

A single composite hides where the value actually sits. Two companies scoring 70 can be entirely different businesses, and the difference is what a buyer pays for.

Strongest on Revenue & growth, weakest on Product differentiation. Brand equity sits at 79, and that is the driver that keeps paying after a good quarter ends.

Brand is the drag on this score.

Both figures on one 0 to 100 axis. The banded distance between the two marks is the whole point of the chart.

Why it matters

Revenue can be bought with discounting; brand equity cannot. When brand sits below the composite the business is running on terms it has to keep re-earning, and that shows up in the multiple long before it shows up in the revenue line.

Brand equity trails the composite by 1. The business is performing ahead of its reputation, so growth is costing more than it should.

The five companies scored closest to this one, ranked by composite.

Why it matters

Nobody is evaluated against the whole market. A buyer builds a shortlist of three to five comparable names, and these are the ones that would sit on it.

Within this set the spread is 11 points, so the composite alone will not separate them. Whatever decides the shortlist happens on the drivers underneath.

Momentum against the cohort
BetMGM -0.5
Cohort median flat
Centre line is no change.

This company's score change beside the median change across its side of the board. The centre line is no movement.

Why it matters

Direction beats level over a holding period. A company gaining on a flat field is compounding a position; one sliding while the field rises is losing ground twice.

Moving at -0.5 against a cohort median of flat. Losing ground relative to the field even before the absolute change is read.
