What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide ($53.43 to $216.09). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (66/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Vail Resorts, Inc (MTN) currently trades at $148.83, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $125.02, implying the stock looks roughly 16.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Vail Resorts, Inc generated revenue of $2.9B at a net margin of 8.0%. Revenue declined 4.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 34.6%. Net debt stands at $3.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $53.43 (bear case) to $216.09 (bull case); at $148.83, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 9% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 17% fair-value upside, at -16%, MTN screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
