Reuters, September 23 - People Inc (PPLI.O) , owned by media mogul Barry Diller, said on Wednesday that it has withdrawn its proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of MGM Resorts International (MGM.N), causing the casino operator's shares to fall 8% after hours.
Back in June, People, which currently holds about 27% of MGM shares, had proposed to acquire the remaining shares, valuing MGM at over $18 billion. At that time, the company offered $48.30 in cash per remaining share.
For Diller, he believed MGM was undervalued, and increasing his stake provided People Magazine Group with an opportunity to diversify its business beyond its core media operations, which includes the namesake magazine, as well as publications such as Food & Wine.

Four Mac Studio systems run trillion-parameter models, Apple challenges Nvidia's narrative on inference
Apple's hardware chief pointed out that after enterprises purchase devices outright, there is no need to pay by token, and the cost-effectiveness of local computing power might be superior to long-term rental of cloud GPUs. Goldman Sachs believes that if more inference tasks shift to end devices, Nvidia's share in incremental AI activity may fall short of market expectations. Currently, Nvidia's implied volatility is at its lowest since before the pandemic, and option pricing has almost no risk premium allocated for this narrative change. Therefore, Goldman Sachs recommends buying Nvidia put options and going long on Apple.
