Barry Diller’s People drops plan to buy remaining MGM Resorts shares

AI Market Summary
People, Barry Diller's firm and a ~27% MGM shareholder, withdrew its offer to acquire the remaining public float at $48.30 per share (>$18B valuation). The reversal removes a near-term takeout premium and increases uncertainty around strategic alternatives, prompting an ~8% after-hours decline. Near-term price action may reflect deal-arbitrage unwinds and a repricing toward standalone fundamentals.
