Vail runs ski resorts; Tencent Music leads China's music-streaming market as an ADR. The digital platform keeps far more of each dollar, a 25.03% net margin against Vail's 5.54%, and carries no net debt where Vail sits levered at 3.3 times equity. Tencent also converts much better to cash, a 10.63% free cash yield versus 3.56%. Vail earns more on equity, 17.12% to 10.2%, though leverage lifts that figure, and Vail pays a 6.43% dividend where Tencent pays none.
