MGM vs Royal Caribbean Travel Play | Business and Finance News
Description
When choosing where to invest in travel and entertainment, MGM Resorts and Royal Caribbean Cruises are the top contenders — one offering Vegas-style glitz with online betting, the other delivering global cruise adventures. MGM boasts 31 global properties and a booming BetMGM digital push, but carries heavy debt (11.9x equity) despite generating $1.7B in free cash flow. Royal Caribbean, with 69 ships and 1,000+ destinations, has lighter debt (2.3x equity), $1.2B in free cash flow, and is upgrading its fleet and terminals. While MGM faces debt, competition, and acquisition uncertainty, Royal Caribbean is outperforming forecasts, booking premium cruises, and showing steady earnings growth — making it the stronger, more reliable bet right now.
