6,300. The redline RPM for a General Motors $GM ( ▼ 8.12% ) Atlas engine. The population density per square mile of Hong Kong. The high-range calorie count for a Luther Burger. (Well, kilojoules, not calories, but still.) And, as of today, the S&P 500’s record close.

If it gets much higher, I’m going to have to look for a meal less healthy than a slab of red meat on a donut. Not sure I want to go down that road…

Finally, read to the end for a shocking $7M market catalyst…

Vail Resorts $MTN ( ▲ 3.31% ) is still recovering from a rocky few seasons, but analysts think the slope is finally turning.

Mizuho’s $MFG ( ▲ 1.6% ) Ben Chaiken recently gave Vail a Buy rating and a $216 price target, while Truist’s $TFC ( ▲ 1.07% ) Patrick Scholes went higher, setting a Street-high target of $244. That implies nearly 53% upside from current levels.

The ski and leisure giant has lost nearly half its value since 2021, yet analysts say its fundamentals are firming. Net income for fiscal 2025 is expected to land in the $264-$298 million range. That would mark its best year since the pandemic.

Vail’s flagship Epic Pass program continues to drive dependable revenue, per a Barron’s analysis. The 2025 season saw 2.3 million units sold. That’s slightly below 2024, but nearly double pre-pandemic levels.

Epic Pass now accounts for 64% of total lift revenue, offering price stability and customer retention even during soft snowfall years.

Margins are also on management’s radar. The company recently launched a cost-savings plan, aiming to free up $100 million in annualized efficiencies by the end of fiscal 2026, including $65 million over the next 12 months.

Barron’s says the stock trades at just 10.4x forward EBITDA, a steep discount to its 10-year average of 17x. Analysts think that could be an opportunity.

The publication points out that Vail Resorts also offers investors a generous dividend, backed by $470 million in forecast free cash flow, which is more than enough to cover the company’s $332 million annual payout.

In other words, whether or not a rally kicks off before ski season, investors are getting paid to wait.
