What Happened?
Shares of timeshare vacation company Hilton Grand Vacations (NYSE: HGV) jumped 3.1% in the morning session after Mizuho analysts raised their price target on the stock, citing optimism about the company's growth prospects.
Mizuho lifted its price target on the vacation ownership company to $73 from $70, maintaining an "Outperform" rating. The firm's analysts pointed to progress in the integration of Bluegreen Vacations and the resolution of sales force issues as key drivers for their bullish outlook. The move also comes amid a broader rally in consumer discretionary stocks, fueled by encouraging economic data.

Recent reports showing a rebound in consumer spending and a five-month high in consumer sentiment are buoying investor confidence in the sector. This improved economic backdrop suggests consumers may be more willing to spend on vacations, directly benefiting companies like Hilton Grand Vacations.
