The main question: the share price moved +3.4% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −45.3%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Vail Resorts share price today? Vail Resorts, Inc.'s share price was $153.36 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 6 weeks. That is 10.9% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $119 and $162, and at that close it sat 80% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +9% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Vail Resorts pay? Vail Resorts, Inc. paid $8.88 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $2.22 for Jul 2026. At today's price of $153.36 that is a yield of 5.79%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Vail Resorts on? Vail Resorts is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Vail Resorts profitable? Vail Resorts, Inc. posted a net loss of $190 M in the Jul 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was $148 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 3.5% a year on average. That loss is 68.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $181 M. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was $148 M (−47.3% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Vail Resorts make, and is it growing? Vail Resorts, Inc. reported $278 M of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +2.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 5 years it has grown 8.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $2.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.8 B. FY26 revenue was $2.8 B, −4.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −1.3% on average, against 8.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −4.3%, against −0.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −47.3%, against −20.1% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Vail Resorts keep? Vail Resorts, Inc.'s operating margin was −73.7% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 2.6 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between 13.7% and 22.9%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −2.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +4.8 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Vail Resorts' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 246% of Vail Resorts, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $480 M of operating cash against $148 M of profit. After $232 M of spending on assets, $248 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Vail Resorts' cash go? Vail Resorts, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $678 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 8.0% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $678 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Vail Resorts' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Vail Resorts, Inc.'s P/E is 37.2×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 90% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 29.1×, over 4.5 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −45.3% while the price moved +3.4%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −12.0% a year; about −8.4% a year came from earnings growth and about −3.6 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Vail Resorts business getting better or worse? Vail Resorts, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Revenue, profit and EPS growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −4.3% in the latest quarter, against +9.1% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 10.2%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Vail Resorts earn on its capital? Vail Resorts, Inc. earned a ROE of 27% in FY26. That is up from a low of 7% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.7 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 5.2% net margin and 0.51× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 5.2% net margin × 0.51× asset turnover × 9.91× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 26.3% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 8.7% − 7.0% = +1.7 percentage points. The 7.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. ## Does Vail Resorts have too much debt? Vail Resorts, Inc. has total debt of $3.4 B against shareholder equity of $557 M as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 6.12× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.66 in FY21 to 6.12 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Vail Resorts shareholding pattern? 20.5% of Vail Resorts, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 6.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Vail Resorts from balance-sheet trouble? For Vail Resorts, Inc., the Z-score is 1.48. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.48 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Vail Resorts rank in its industry? 38.4 out of 100, rank 12 of 15 in Resorts & Casinos, with 77% of the evidence available. Vail Resorts, Inc. scores 38.4 out of 100 against the 15 companies it is compared with in Resorts & Casinos, ranking 12. Relative strength against the index is 4.8%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 7.2 + 8.4 + 3.5 + 19.3 = 38.4. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Vail Resorts compared with? Vail Resorts ranks 12 of 15 Resorts & Casinos companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 38.4 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
