<p>9 minutes ago</p>
<p>MGM Resorts International (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=MGM" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">MGM</a>) experienced a significant increase in stock price on Monday following the casino operator and London-based Entain's optimistic adjustments to their full-year projection for their jointly owned BetMGM sports betting and iGaming platform.</p>
<p>MGM and Entain stated, "The favorable growth trend for BetMGM noted in Q1 2025 has persisted through Q2 2025 up to June 13, resulting in robust revenue growth in both iGaming and Online Sports, is supported by increased handling." They noted that performance is largely in line with the 34% revenue growth year-over-year observed in the first quarter.</p>
<p>Consequently, the firms are now forecasting BetMGM's fiscal 2025 revenue to reach "at least $2.6 billion," an increase from the previous estimate of $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion, with an expected EBITDA of "at least $100 million," compared to their prior expectation of "EBITDA positive."</p>

<p>40 minutes ago</p>
<p>Roku (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=ROKU" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">ROKU</a>) stock surged on Monday after the company announced a new collaboration with Amazon (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/markets/quote?tvwidgetsymbol=AMZN" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="2">AMZN</a>) Ads, promising advertisers access to over 80% of households with connected televisions.</p>

The collaboration allows Amazon’s demand-side platform to identify viewers who have signed into the Roku operating system, as stated by the company.</p>

<p>1 hr 5 min ago</p>
<p>Investors displayed a calm demeanor on Monday regarding the potential for conflict escalation between Israel and Iran, which could lead to an oil supply shock significantly impacting the global economy.</p>
<p>Despite volatile trading on Friday, indicators suggest that investors were not significantly concerned about a major escalation in conflict. High-yield credit spreads only increased by 2 basis points, indicating modest risk aversion, and the MSCI World Index closed just 1% shy of its all-time high.</p>
<p>Markets often quickly dismiss major geopolitical events. After a geopolitical shock, the S&P 500 generally declines around 6% in the following three weeks, only to recover those losses in the subsequent three weeks, a recent analysis by Deutsche Bank noted. Given historically low equity positioning, a substantial sell-off seems unlikely today.</p>
<p>Geopolitical events typically impact the stock market significantly when they influence the real economy, either by hindering growth or increasing inflation, as per Deutsche Bank analyst Henry Allen's commentary.</p>
<p>However, high inflation has moderated since it reached a 40-year peak in June 2022, and there are concerns that tariffs could drive prices up further, amplifying inflation in the context of escalating Middle Eastern tensions.</p>
