Stock Story -

What Happened:Shares of vacation ownership company Marriott (NASDAQ:MAR) Vacations (NYSE:VAC) jumped 9.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported fourth-quarter results that exceeded analysts' revenue expectations as its Vacation Ownership segment outperformed. Its adjusted EBITDA and EPS also topped Wall Street's estimates. The company noted that the wildfires in Maui, Hawaii impacted its performance as it operates four resorts on the island. As a result, its contract sales declined 2% year on year during the quarter. Without the fires, Marriott Vacations estimates it would have grown contract sales by 4%. Overall, this quarter's results seemed fairly positive, and shareholders should feel optimistic.
