Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Vail Resorts, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 22.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 8% a year, against analyst forecasts of -2%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
