Vail Resorts Earnings: What to Watch
The fiscal first quarter is usually a sleepy one for Vail Resorts (NYSE: MTN). Its biggest properties aren't open for ski operations in this period and so sales are typically just a small fraction of their winter seasonal peak. That helps explain why Vail Resorts is expected to post a $1.90-per-share loss when it announces first-quarter results on Thursday, Dec. 7.
The period tends to set the stage for the full year, though, and so this upcoming report will have plenty of important information for investors to digest. Here are a few of the key trends to keep an eye on in Thursday's report.
