Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.

MGM Resorts International's MGM sports betting and iGaming brand, BetMGM, has entered a multi-year partnership with Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI) to act as the preferred online sportsbook and casino partner for USA TODAY Sports.
Per the agreement, BetMGM will provide sports betting odds and detailed betting information across the extensive USA TODAY Network, which spans more than 200 local U.S. markets in 43 states. This partnership will also leverage over 300 digital news and media brands within the network's portfolio to enhance its reach and coverage.
BetMGM's sports betting odds, including moneylines, spreads and over/unders, will be integrated into content across the USA TODAY Network. The Bet Now feature will also be available. BetMGM Sportsbook and BetMGM Casino will be listed as partners in website footers. The company aims to leverage this partnership to enhance fan engagement with sports betting throughout the football season and beyond.
Sports Betting to Boost MGM's Growth
Sports betting and iGaming continue to be a major growth driver for MGM. The company continues to focus on sports betting expansion. During second-quarter 2024, the company reported notable progress in its digital strategy, particularly with BetMGM and the acquisition of LeoVegas. The company advanced its ownership of technology by acquiring Push Gaming for proprietary content and Tipico’s U.S. sports betting platform.
The recent introduction of a Live Dealer product in partnership with Playtech further enhances its digital offerings. On the international front, MGM reported substantial developments, including an in-house sports product and live dealer features for online gaming.
BetMGM remained profitable in the second quarter, largely driven by the iGaming business, which generates around $400 million annually. The company achieved significant strides in enhancing its sports product through key partnerships. Management remains confident in the brand’s long-term growth, emphasizing the value of their strategic partnership and ongoing commitment to business expansion.
MGM’s Price Performance
Shares of this owner and operator of casino resorts through wholly-owned subsidiaries have lost 17.4% in the past six months against the Zacks Gaming industry’s 10.8% growth. Although the company’s shares have underperformed its industry, MGM’s ongoing focus on sports betting and iGaming, along with international expansion, asset-light strategy and non-gaming activities is likely to foster growth in the upcoming period.

Zacks Investment Research
Sportsbooks operators such as DraftKings Inc could stand to benefit with the 2024 National Football season underway and another week of favorable outcomes for sportsbooks in the second week of games.
The DraftKings Analyst: Needham analyst Bernie McTernan reiterated a Buy rating and $60 price target on DraftKings after the second week of the NFL season.
The Analyst Takeaways: Sportsbooks likely had favorable outcomes from the NFL matchups for a second straight week, McTernan said in a new investor note.
The analyst previously estimated the first week of the NFL would show favorable outcomes for sportsbooks thanks to several of the top bet-on teams either lost or failed to cover the spread. Data from New York sportsbooks showed this may not have been the case with sportsbooks in the state having a 6.8% hold rate, compared to 13.6% for the first week of the NFL season last year.
There were only four weeks in the 2023 NFL season of 18 total that had a hold rate below 6.8%, the analyst added.
"We think week two was a bounce back week for the sportsbooks, following week one that was worse than we estimated," McTernan said. "We think week two was a good week for the sportsbooks as three of the four largest underdogs won outright in the Sunday 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET slate."
The analyst said the underdogs won in over 50% of the games and covered the spread in 64% of games, which is usually a favorable outcome for sportsbooks.
Among the NFL teams to lose in the second week and most bet-on teams to cover on Sunday were the Baltimore Ravens (to the Las Vegas Raiders), Dallas Cowboys (to the New Orleans Saints) and San Francisco 49ers (to the Minnesota Vikings).
App store rankings showed DraftKings as the third top sports app for the second week of the NFL season, up from fifth place last week. FanDuel, owned by Flutter Entertainment ranked fifth on the week, up from seventh place last week.
Several other sportsbooks saw their rankings on the iOS app store rankings improve including bet365 and BetMGM. ESPN Bet, operated by PENN Entertainment Inc fell in the rankings going from 23rd in the first week of the NFL season to 26th place in the second week. Fanatics sportsbook also fell from 25th to 31st from the first to second week of the NFL season.
McTernan cautioned that DraftKings ranking first in the iOS app store rankings to start the 2024 season might not last.
"As a reminder, DKNG also was the leader the first two weeks of last season but FanDuel narrowly edged them for the lead for the whole season."
The second week NFL results along with the growing sportsbook market had the analyst remaining bullish on DraftKings.
"We see DKNG as a leader in the emerging North America online gambling market, a $35B market opportunity."
DKNG Price Action: DraftKings stock is up 1.30% to $38.29 on Monday at publication versus a 52-week trading range of $25.74 to $49.57. DraftKings stock is up 13% year-to-date in 2024.
