Marriott International Inc. (MAR-Q) has received mixed reviews from experts, highlighting both its strong business model and the inherent risks in the cyclical nature of the hotel industry. On one hand, its asset-lite structure and management are praised for fostering growth and capital efficiency, with some experts advocating for purchases now to capitalize on future upside, especially given strong domestic travel trends. However, concerns linger about the sustainability of such growth, particularly in Europe and with competition from alternatives like Airbnb and VRBO. Some experts have, despite recognizing the company's potential, opted to take profits, suggesting it may lag behind peers in the industry. Ultimately, there's cautious optimism about upcoming earnings surprises amidst a strong travel environment.

Consensus
Cautious
Valuation
Overvalued
PARTIAL BUY

Trades at a high 30x PE and is 3 points off its high, but the travel thesis is so strong, you can buy some now and more on weakness later.

WEAK BUY

Great management running a capital-lite business.  MAR puts their name on a hotel that others manage. A great business model. His one caveat is that hotels are a cyclical industry; if revenge travel ends, forward earnings could disappoint. US travel is strong, but not Europe. He's cautious about travel. He's surprised that with Airbnb and VRBO that hotel rates are so high.

BUY

Has owned this for a long time and sees more upside. Trades at a high 24x PE and 14% 2025 earnings growth. But it's an asset-lite cash cow with growth.

SELL

Just sold it though they have a great business model and travel remains strong, but they lag their peers. He held this for a long time and decided to take profits.

BUY

He'd rather own businesses hurt during pandemic, but are better today. Cruising business is tough. He'd rather own a BKNG, ABNB, MAR or HLT.

BUY

It reports Wednesday. He expects yet another upside surprise given our travel-oriented society

BUY

He missed this unfortunately. They benefited from the reopening with consumers traveling strong. Sold it way too early in 2021.

BUY

Up 31% YTD. Cross-border travel is a tailwind, 35% of revenue coming overseas. He expects rev-par growth of 16%. He expects a strong quarter.

BUY

Cross-border travelling is keeping back and so is business travelling. Marriott has strong liquidity.

BUY

Was down today, but MAR will do well, because travel is doing well. Stay long this.

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.
