Earnings Call Insights: MGM Resorts International (MGM) Q1 2026 Management view "MGM Resorts once again delivered consolidated growth in the first quarter, driven by strength in digital and China." (President, CEO & Director William Hornbuckle) He also said Las Vegas "net revenue for Las Vegas in Q1 grew on a year-over-year basis for the first time in over a year" and tied performance to "solid group and convention business" that he expects to "carry into the second quarter." "This quarter, we challenged ourselves to have been more creative and launch an all-inclusive experience" at Luxor and Excalibur, with "roughly 1/3 of the bookings" from "first-time Las Vegas visitors." (President, CEO & Director Hornbuckle) He described continued event-driven strategy, noting MGM is "actively engaged in discussions" related to the NBA’s Las Vegas expansion process. "Segment adjusted EBITDA decreased by $62 million which can be explained by just 2 items" in Las Vegas: "an increase in self-insurance expense of $30 million -- of $37 million and a decrease in business interruption proceeds of $31 million versus last year." (CFO & Treasurer Jonathan Halkyard) "Over the last 5 years, we've decreased our share count by almost 50%." (CFO & Treasurer Halkyard) He said following the Northfield Park sale, MGM has "increased flexibility to redeploy capital, including reaccelerating share repurchases at our current valuation levels." Outlook "We expect this momentum to continue in the second quarter with convention room night mix to up 2 percentage points year-over-year to 20%." (President, CEO & Director Hornbuckle) He added, "we remain on track for growth this year" and said optimism "continues to hold firm, especially in Las Vegas." On Las Vegas demand, Hornbuckle said, "each month got successively better" in Q1, with "March being obviously for us, the best month yet," and added, "Our April is fine" and "May will be a good month" while cautioning "booking cycles still remains short."

Earnings Call Insights: SBA Communications (SBAC) Q1 2026 management view Marc Montagner said, "Given the solid start of the year, we are increasing our full year outlook for all key metrics, including site leasing revenue, our cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, AFFO and AFFO per share as compared to our initial 2026 guidance," citing "outperformance during our first quarter, high straight-line revenue a...
Earnings Call Insights: SBA Communications (SBAC) Q1 2026 management view Marc Montagner said, "Given the solid start of the year, we are increasing our full year outlook for all key metrics, including site leasing revenue, our cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, AFFO and AFFO per share as compared to our initial 2026 guidance," citing "outperformance during our first quarter, high straight-line revenue and favorable foreign currency rates." Montagner highlighted operating performance and U.S. leasing demand: "we continue to operate efficiently, controlling direct costs and achieving company-wide tower cash flow margins of approximately 80%," and "In the U.S. we added approximately $10 million of quarterly new lease and amendment billings year-over-year." On churn and a key dispute, Montagner said, "our prior outlook for both Sprint and EchoStar-related churn for the year remains unchanged," adding, "With regard to EchoStar, we continue to litigate the matter in federal court and believe strongly in our contractual rights." Brendan Cavanagh framed U.S. demand around coverage, new leases, and fixed wireless access, saying, "The majority of leasing activity in the quarter came from new leases as carriers focus on coverage gaps and capacity needs," and "Our backlogs also continued to steadily increase during the quarter, and we expect to see steady activity levels throughout the remainder of 2026." Internationally, Cavanagh emphasized the Millicom integration and new builds: "We've made tremendous progress integrating the Millicom assets and are seeing healthy colocation demand for these sites, exceeding our initial lease-up projections," and "building just over 60 towers in Central America in the first quarter." On balance sheet and shareholder returns, Montagner said, "We ended the quarter with approximately $13 billion of total debt" and "Our current leverage of 6.6x net debt to adjusted EBITDA remains near historical lows." He added, "today, we announced that our Board of ...

SoftBank Group Corp. plans to establish and float a standalone AI robotics and data center company called Roze in the US, the Financial Times reported , citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. The Japanese investment firm aims to list Roze as soon as this year at a targeted valuation of $100 billion, the FT reported. Founder Masayoshi Son is driving the effort, aimed at offsetting the tens of billions of dollars that his firm is committing in the AI sphere. Son’s envisioned spinoff would run up against growing concerns about the sustainability of a historic global data center buildout led by the likes of Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. SoftBank has placed a giant bet on OpenAI in particular, while trying to mold Arm Holdings Plc into a potential competitor to Nvidia Corp . The Japanese group has piled on debt as Son seeks to position himself as a linchpin in the global AI boom. His company recently committed an additional $30 billion to the ChatGPT developer after having previously put in more than that same amount. Last month, SoftBank signed a $40 billion loan — its largest-ever lending facility solely denominated in dollars — in part for its most recent follow-on investment. SoftBank representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Details including the stake in Roze to be floated have yet to be finalized, the newspaper reported. Still, SoftBank has stepped up investments in AI in past months. The company signed a $3 billion deal to buy private equity firm DigitalBridge Group Inc. , whose portfolio includes digital infrastructure companies such as AtlasEdge, DataBank, Switch and Vantage Data Centers . Prior to that announcement, SoftBank bought US chip designer Ampere Computing LLC for $6.5 billi...
