This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Marriott International Inc. has garnered positive sentiments from various experts, highlighting its strong growth potential driven by global travel demand, with an annual growth rate of around 15%. The company has been noted for its ability to consistently deliver reliable earnings, even in uncertain economic conditions, as it benefits from the resilience of higher-end consumers. However, its current valuation appears somewhat pricey, trading at 30 times price-to-earnings, leading some experts to advise caution when investing, suggesting that it may be beneficial to buy on dips or after earnings reports. Upgrade news and the company's asset-lite model bolster its long-term appeal as a compounder, although short-term volatility around earnings calls has been observed. Overall, those who understand its dynamics express confidence in holding the stock for the long term, despite acknowledging its higher valuation metrics.

BUY

The market prefers Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) stock as rates rise and tech is unfashionable. The PEG ratio is a key metric. These shares pay big dividends or buyback shares. It hasn't yet returned to pre-Covid levels, but it had a great last quarter. They've been adding capacity, so they're bullish and they face the travel reopening. They halted their dividend in 2020, but will very like reinstate it this year. It trades under 30x earnings, but this enjoys a strong earnings growth rebound.

BUY

Play consumer discretionary through travel? He owns little travel, but there is a lot of pent-up demand. Lots of runway. He owns Marriott, but Carnival is an opportunity.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

If the Omicron variant does not slow down the economy and the market snaps back, then buy... Wait for the first Omicron case in the US to buy a good entry point.

DON'T BUY

impact of business travel on the hotel and travel space She sees the same question with airlines and reopening stocks--when will business travel come back? All the growth to return to pre-pandemic levels was automatically priced in as soon as the economy started to open. The risk/reward profile gives her pause. Yes, summer travel is returning, but business travel will take a while to come back. Also, the Delta variant is starting to gain traction in the U.S.; some places are thinking of reinstating mask laws. If so, hotels will get hurt first.

WAIT

A tough one. The ex-CEO was great, so he wants to see a couple of good quarters under the new CEO. He can't recommend MAR until then.

COMMENT

It reports Monday. Expedia today said that pleasure trips are rising, but business trips still lag. Will be interested to see what MAR says.

BUY

The best hotel to play for the coming economic reopening. The CEO who recently passed away last week did a great job advancing the company. The stock didn't skip a beat with his passing. Still has a strong management team and culture. It's primed to rally with the reopening.

BUY

Return to pre-Covid levels? Yes, and maybe higher. They've had a strong balance sheet throughout the pandemic.

COMMENT

A small Short for him because of a combination of its slightly poor momentum and fairly high valuation. 14X EBITDA, and trades 21X PE. Doesn’t have a ton of yield support.

HOLD

Has had tremendous performance. Not currently a “Buy”. He bought it because it was a market leading company with a high dividend yield.
