Prior to today's trading, shares of the ski resort operator had gained 5.69% over the past month. This has outpaced the Consumer Discretionary sector's gain of 3.21% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.3% in that time.

Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $259.06 million, up 17.75% from the year-ago period.
MTN's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $7.94 per share and revenue of $2.53 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +5.17% and +11.57%, respectively.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for MTN. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
