At the 4th Annual Morgan Stanley Travel & Leisure Conference, Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (HGV) discussed its financial outlook and growth strategies for 2026. Daniel Mathewes, the President and CFO currently on leave, highlighted that the company has raised its growth expectations to an 8% midpoint for the year. However, he emphasized that 2026 would not be a typical year for HGV due to the impact of previous acquisitions and the launch of HGV Max, which took place on November 8, 2025. Mathewes indicated that the first three quarters of 2026 would present tough comparisons, but he expects a return to growth in the fourth quarter. He also mentioned that a more normalized growth algorithm would be anticipated in 2027, suggesting that the company is strategically positioning itself for long-term success despite the immediate challenges.
