JPMorgan Initiates Timeshare Coverage Favoring Marriott Vacations
JPMorgan has launched coverage of the timeshare sector and expressed a favorable outlook toward Marriott Vacations Worldwide (VAC). Analyst Michael Hirsh assigned an Overweight rating to VAC with a $125 price target, citing strong fundamentals. The firm took a neutral stance on both Travel + Leisure (TNL) and Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV), indicating no immediate bias for or against these stocks. The move reflects JPMorgan's strategic focus on identifying undervalued opportunities within the vacation ownership industry amid broader market uncertainty in travel-related sectors. The firm’s selective approach highlights its confidence in VAC as a standout performer, while maintaining caution toward other major players like HGV and TNL for now.
