An update from Vail Resorts ( (MTN) ) is now available.
On April 23, 2026, Vail Resorts reported that for the North American ski season through April 19, 2026, skier visits declined 14.9% year over year, with lift revenue down 5.6%, ski school revenue down 12.0%, dining revenue down 11.7% and retail/rental revenue down 6.6%. Chief executive Rob Katz attributed the weakness to record low snowfall and unusually warm temperatures across the western U.S., which forced earlier-than-planned resort closures, drove a 25% visitation drop in the Rockies and is now expected to push fiscal 2026 Resort Reported EBITDA to the low end of guidance, while early spring pass sales for 2026/2027 also showed moderate unit declines and slight sales dollar declines through April 12, signaling pressure on near-term growth and earnings visibility for investors and other stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (MTN) stock is a Hold with a $139.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vail Resorts stock, see the MTN Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on MTN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MTN is a Neutral.
The score reflects a mix of strong valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield) and resilient operating margins, offset by meaningful balance-sheet risk from extremely high leverage and weakening free cash flow. Technicals are also a headwind with the stock trading below major moving averages and negative MACD. The latest earnings call adds near-term uncertainty due to weather-driven guidance pressure, partially mitigated by cost-savings execution and solid liquidity.
