Aristotle Small Cap Equity Strategy made the following comment about Viad Corp (NYSE:VVI) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“Viad Corp (NYSE:VVI), a provider of high‐quality, experience‐based services for the hospitality and live events industries, declined amid a slower than expected recovery in long‐haul international travel and an unfortunate disruption of company operations due to wildfires near some of the company’s hotels and attractions. We maintain our investment, as we believe the company’s growing service offering, expanded marketing platform and a recovery in international leisure travel and live events can drive shareholder value creation over the next several years.”
