CEO leads Vail Resorts in stock buybacks with big purchase
Mar 20, 2026
Vail Resorts is continuing to be aggressive in share repurchasing while top executives are simultaneously buying stock, a combination that signals renewed internal confidence even as the publicly traded company’s share price remains well below its post-pandemic highs.
CEO Rob Katz this week pu
rchased 37,500 shares in a transaction valued at nearly $5 million, while CFO Angela Korch acquired an 190 shares for $25,051. Korch now has just over 5,000 shares, while Katz has roughly 285,000 shares, worth about $40 million at current prices.
Katz’s aggressive approach to purchasing Vail Resorts stock marks a stark contrast from previous CEO Kirsten Lynch, who received high-profile criticism from an investor in 2025, saying Lynch had “not once purchased MTN shares,” and therefore had “no skin in the game, signaling zero conviction in Vail’s future.”
Vail Resorts as a company has continued to aggressively repurchase its own shares, as well, retiring roughly 3% to 4% of its total outstanding stock each year since instituting its stock buyback program in fiscal 2022.
