Vail Resorts Trading Volume Surges 58.45% to $328 Million Ranking 255th Despite Stock Price Drop

On June 6, 2025, Vail Resorts (MTN) experienced a 58.45% surge in trading volume, reaching $328 million, placing it 255th in the day's trading rankings. Despite this, the stock price fell by 2.89%.

Vail Resorts reported its fiscal 2025 third-quarter results, highlighting a net income of $392.8 million, up from $362.0 million in the same period last year. The company's Resort Reported EBITDA for the quarter was $647.7 million, which included $4.2 million in one-time costs related to its resource efficiency transformation plan and $0.1 million in acquisition and integration expenses. The company updated its fiscal 2025 guidance, expecting net income to be between $264 million and $298 million, and Resort Reported EBITDA to be between $831 million and $851 million. This guidance reflects lower-than-expected lift ticket visitation during the spring period and one-time costs related to the CEO transition.

Vail Resorts' season pass sales for the upcoming 2025/2026 North American ski season showed a slight decrease of approximately 1% in units but a 2% increase in sales dollars compared to the prior year. The company attributed this to elevated macro-economic volatility and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Despite these challenges, Vail Resorts remains optimistic about the full-year pass unit and sales dollar trends, which are expected to be relatively stable with the spring results.

The company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.22 per share, payable on July 9, 2025. Additionally, Vail Resorts repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares during the quarter at an average price of approximately $161 per share, totaling $30 million. The Board of Directors also increased the company's authorization for share repurchases by 1.5 million shares to approximately 2.8 million shares.
