Revenue Growth
A company’s long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Luckily, Hilton Grand Vacations’s sales grew at a decent 43.6% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth was slightly above the average consumer discretionary company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within consumer discretionary, a stretched historical view may miss a company riding a successful new property or trend. Hilton Grand Vacations’s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its annualized revenue growth of 11.1% over the last two years was below its five-year trend. We’re wary when companies in the sector see decelerations in revenue growth, as it could signal changing consumer tastes aided by low switching costs. 
Hilton Grand Vacations also discloses its number of members and conducted tours, which clocked in at 720,079 and 189,446 in the latest quarter. Over the last two years, Hilton Grand Vacations’s members averaged 6.3% year-on-year growth while its conducted tours averaged 3.8% year-on-year growth. 
This quarter, Hilton Grand Vacations reported year-on-year revenue growth of 11.9%, and its $1.29 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 2%.
Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 8.5% over the next 12 months, a slight deceleration versus the last two years. This projection is underwhelming and implies its products and services will face some demand challenges.
