“New Long – Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV): spun out of Hilton 2.5 years ago, HGV is a leading timeshare operator. HGV is a surprisingly attractive business (strong history of through-the-cycle growth and ROIC), whose stock has already, in our view, priced in decent odds of a recession (read: it looks cheap). Further, in late 2017 HGV embarked on a massive inventory build program that not surprisingly (given cycle worries) spooked investors. As HGV emerges from the trough of this investment cycle over the coming year, we think two things will happen: (1) cash flows and capital returns will accelerate, and (2) the inventory build will prove sensible regardless of the macro backdrop.”
