Marriott Int'l.

Marriott Int'l. is among the world’s largest Hotels, Resorts and Cruise Lines sector businesses in the world.  Marriott Int'l.’s employees generate $725.0M in profits on $12.359B of revenue.  Global output in the Hotels, Resorts and Cruise Lines business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Marriott Int'l. is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Hotels, Resorts and Cruise Lines segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Marriott Int'l.’s ticker symbol MAR has recently been trading near $43.39 a share.  The Marriott Int'l. corporate headquarters in Bethesda MD predicts Hotels, Resorts and Cruise Lines profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $16.763B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.95, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Marriott Int'l. moves less aggressively.
