He also serves on MGM\u2019s Board and holds leadership positions at MGM China and the U.S. Travel Association.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past five years, MGM Resorts has delivered a 106.61% return, outpacing both the MVIS Global Gaming Index and the S&#038;P 500 by more than 13 percentage points. Yet more recent performance has raised concerns. Shares have dropped 21.68% in the past year, even as the S&#038;P 500 gained over 9%. Some investors view the current valuation as too low and possibly disconnected from the company\u2019s long-term potential.<\/p>\n<p>During Hornbuckle\u2019s tenure, MGM made several strategic moves. The $1.6 billion acquisition of the Cosmopolitan\u2019s operations and the $450 million sale of the Gold Strike Hotel &#038; Casino in Mississippi are part of an asset-light approach aimed at improving flexibility and capital efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Hornbuckle attributed the company\u2019s success to a strong internal culture focused on customer experience and continuous improvement. <em>\u201cOur best days are ahead,\u201d<\/em> he said, signaling continued efforts to push into global and digital markets while maintaining investor focus.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/mgm-locks-in-bill-hornbuckle-as-ceo-through-2028\/\">MGM Locks In Bill Hornbuckle as CEO Through 2028<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MGM Resorts International has locked in Bill Hornbuckle as CEO and President through the end of 2028.
