Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) benefiting from healthy vacation ownership demand, higher transaction values, and improved management outlook. Expected 8.3% sales growth and 21.5% earnings growth in 2026. Stock surged 57% in the past year.
Strong 46% stock surge over six months backed by solid fundamentals including 22% contract sales growth, improved profitability metrics (adjusted EBITDA up to $215M), enhanced free cash flow ($201M in H1 2026), upward earnings estimate revisions, and attractive valuation discount relative to peers. Management executing well on commercial initiatives and balance sheet strengthening.
The stock has delivered strong performance with 90.8% gains in 2026, recent Q2 earnings showed 22% contract sales growth and improved net income ($77M vs $69M prior year), and analyst median price target of $129.50 suggests 17.6% upside potential. The insider's retention of 10,821 shares and routine nature of the sale indicate confidence in the company's direction.
GMT Capital's substantial $66.65 million investment signals bullish conviction in the company. The positive sentiment is supported by strong Q1 2026 revenue growth ($1.3B vs $1.2B YoY), significant improvement in forecasted free cash flow ($375-425M in 2026 vs $145M in 2025), and a healthy 4.4% dividend yield. However, elevated valuation metrics and underperformance versus the S&P 500 temper the overall bullish case.
