Q3 Earnings Highlights: Vail Resorts (NYSE:MTN) Vs The Rest Of The Leisure Facilities Stocks

Looking back on leisure facilities stocks’ Q3 earnings, we examine this quarter’s best and worst performers, including Vail Resorts (NYSE:MTN) and its peers.

Leisure facilities companies often sell experiences rather than tangible products, and in the last decade-plus, consumers have slowly shifted their spending from "things" to "experiences". Leisure facilities seek to benefit but must innovate to do so because of the industry’s high competition and capital intensity.
