In the last quarter, its adjusted earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.4%. Notably, MTN delivered better-than-expected earnings in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, with an average surprise of 2.7%.
Trend in Estimate Revision of MTN
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter loss per share has narrowed to $4.78 from $4.80 over the past 30 days. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported adjusted loss per share of $4.67.
For net revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $270 million, indicating a 1.7% rise from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of $265.4 million.
Let us take a look at how things might have shaped up in the quarter to be reported.
Factors Likely to Shape Vail Resorts’ Q4 Results
Vail Resorts’ top-line performance in fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 is likely to have been supported by continued strength in its Season Pass program, which remains the cornerstone of the growth strategy. Despite fluctuations in visitation across certain markets, the company is likely to have benefited from solid unit growth in Epic Day Pass products, driven by renewing pass holders and broader traction among lower-frequency skiers through the launch of the Epic Australia four-day pass.
In addition, Vail Resorts’ strategic investments and guest-focused initiatives are likely to have boosted traffic and spending. Owing to these tailwinds, our model predicts Mountain and Lodging net revenues for the to-be-reported quarter to grow year over year by 4.2% to $183.3 million and decline 1.7% to $87.9 million, respectively.
However, a rise in operating expenses is likely to have dented margins in the to-be-reported quarter. Our model predicts total segment operating expense to increase 3.4% year over year to $394 million.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Vail Resorts this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.
Vail Resorts has an Earnings ESP of +4.69% and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) at present. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
