The case for and against

Updated Jan 29, 2025

Bull case

Vacasa Inc. has demonstrated a positive financial trajectory, as evidenced by an Adjusted EBITDA of $2 million in the second quarter, which surpassed consensus expectations significantly. The company's strategic shift to a localized organizational structure is expected to yield long-term benefits and is already showing early signs of improvement in operational effectiveness. Additionally, the supply of rental homes is anticipated to grow as local initiatives help to counterbalance any risks associated with sellers retaining properties amid a strong vacation rental market.

Bear case

Vacasa Inc. is facing significant financial challenges, as evidenced by a lowered FY24E Adjusted EBITDA forecast of -$7 million, which reflects a deterioration in consumer demand consistent with trends observed in other travel companies. The company is struggling with supply additions, as efforts to convert DIY homeowners have faltered and demand aggregation partners are developing competing functionalities, leading to expectations of declining gross booking value (GBV) through 2025. Additionally, the reduction in active homes, with a 7% year-over-year drop, further underscores the ongoing difficulties facing Vacasa in the current market landscape, contributing to the negative outlook.
