The Quality Score for MTN stands at 4.6 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Vail Resorts Inc. in the mixed quality band. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. It rolls Vail Resorts Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Ranked with the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 39th percentile, in the lower half of the group, above the bottom quarter. The median across the group is 5.0, and the top quarter begins at 6.1, so Vail Resorts Inc. is in line with the typical company here.
Profitability scores 5.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Vail Resorts Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 58th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
On solvency, Vail Resorts Inc. scores 2.4, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 5.9 across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well below them, at the 9th percentile. A low reading here is a question about resilience: how long the company could keep paying its obligations if earnings dropped.
Growth scores 1.3 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so Vail Resorts Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 16th percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
On efficiency, Vail Resorts Inc. scores 7.4, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 82nd percentile. A strong efficiency reading usually shows up as healthy cash conversion: reported profit arriving as real cash rather than staying on the balance sheet.
On predictability, Vail Resorts Inc. scores 6.3, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 77th percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
The gap between Vail Resorts Inc.’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 7.4 against growth at 1.3, 6.1 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
Closing the gap on solvency would do the most for the overall. At the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 5.9, Vail Resorts Inc. would score about 5.3 instead of 4.6. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Vail Resorts Inc. has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
