Investors Question Buying Opportunity for Vail Stock -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-17

1146 ET - Investors are pondering whether tough snow conditions represent a buying opportunity for Vail Resorts' stock, UBS analysts say in a note. The ski-resort operator reported season-to-date visitation down 20% through Jan. 4 at its North American resorts, a steeper decline than investors had been bracing for, and its current forecast assumes conditions return to normal in the Rockies by President's Day weekend, the analysts say. "The question on investors' mind is whether disruptive weather is an opportunity to buy MTN," they say. Beyond the current challenging ski conditions, Vail is also dealing with labor-cost inflation and challenging unit growth, the analysts say, noting they've been more cautious on the company's fundamentals.
