Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Hospitality & Leisure. Price $416.38, market value $107.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 41.5×** (5-yr avg 30.9×, 3-yr avg 29.1×). Marriott International trades at 41.5× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 30.9×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 31.1×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 2.20**. A PEG of 2.20 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 3.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.9×.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.3%** (5-yr avg 3.2%). Free cash flow equals 3.3% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 3.2%.
- **Earnings yield: 2.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 9.9%**. 9.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: -69.0%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -83.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -83.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 14.2%** (3-yr 9.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 14.2%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
