What was said

"Yesterday, he actually bid for the company. Okay, so when I put the presentation together, the stock was about $37. It's now high 40s. He bid $48. Okay, I would not sell my shares to him. The reason is also, besides him buying the stock, the company's also been buying the stock."

Aaron Cowan revealed that Barry Diller submitted a surprise $48 per share bid for MGM Resorts just days before the conference, after accumulating 26% of the company. Cowan argues Diller is targeting MGM's undervalued Osaka casino license, which could generate $2 billion in EBITDA and drive the stock to $100-$150 per share. MGM has also repurchased half its float over six years.
