Analysts Conflicted on These Consumer Cyclical Names: Vail Resorts (NYSE: MTN) and DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH)We think Vail believes they ceded material market share last year in what was a strong visit year for the overall ski industry. Key initiatives to drive this include 1) 50% discount, 2) targeted off-peak pricing initiatives and 3) increased marketing (more below). We think it’s encouraging Vail is sharpening prices to address an area (elasticity) that has concerned us the last two seasons. Changes to the larger pass suite will wait until FY27, but we think the company could revisit/fine tune its price and value tiers (both up and down) to optimize revenue. We are encouraged that Vail is addressing non-pass lift tickets, but stay Neutral as it could take time to see the impact of their new strategic priorities.

Hold Rating for Vail Resorts Amid Decline in Pass Sales and Softer Financial OutlookSeason pass unit sales down -3%, with sales up +1% With Q4 broadly in line, Vail reported sequential deceleration in pass unit sales, with FY guide lighter than investor expectations. Pass product sales through American ski season are down -3% in units and up +1% in sales dollars, given +7% pricing Vail took earlier in the season. This has decelerated from -1% decline in pass units, with sales up +2% a quarter ago. Vail says the decline in units is driven by less tenured renewing guests, those that had a pass for just one year and fewer new pass holders. Management expects Dec'25 season-to-date pass trends to remain consistent with Sept growth rates. Vail says they need to focus more on driving lift ticket sales. Vail says pass unit decline is driven by new pass holders and lower tenured renewing pass holders.
