Marriott International's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NYSE">MAR</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.88% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.61 million shares sold short, which is 2.52% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.12 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Marriott International has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Marriott International's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Marriott International's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

In a turbulent first half of 2025 for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel">global travel sector</a>, Goldman Sachs sees an edge for investors: &#8220;premiumization.&#8221;
From lie-flat airline seats to luxury cruise cabins and high-end hotel brands, premium travel products have shown striking resilience to macroeconomic pressures—and companies leaning into this segment are emerging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/travel-stocks">as the strongest performers.</a>
Premium travel is "increasingly driven by higher-income consumers less impacted by short-term macro volatility," said Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O'Brien.
According to O'Brien, stocks most exposed to "premiumization" include Buy-rated Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Airlines: Premium Demand Leads</h3>
In a note shared Thursday, O'Brien highlighted that premium cabins outperformed economy in the first quarter across all major U.S. airlines.
Delta Air Lines posted a 6.8% year-over-year increase in premium revenue in the first quarter, while its main cabin revenue declined 1.2%. United Airlines reported international Polaris cabin revenue up 8% and Premium Plus up 5%.
Alaska Air said premium accounted for 34% of total revenue, with Hawaiian routes contributing a 17% jump in high-end bookings.
Airlines like JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) echoed similar trends, with premium class outperforming main cabin across both domestic and international routes.
This shift isn't just cyclical. Airlines have introduced more segmented products—from extra legroom economy to exclusive suites—making premium more accessible while preserving upsell potential. Delta's domestic first-class load factor jumped to 75%, from just 12% fifteen years ago.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hotels: Luxury RevPAR Resilience</h3>
In lodging, luxury continues to drive performance.
Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) said its luxury tier had the strongest occupancy and average daily rate (ADR) growth globally in the first quarter, while Hyatt Hotels Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) saw luxury RevPAR (revenue per available room) rise over 8%.
By contrast, Choice Hotels International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHH#NYSE">CHH</a>) and Wyndham Hotels &amp; Resorts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WH#NYSE">WH</a>), both focused on economy and midscale properties, slashed their 2025 outlooks by up to 300 basis points.
Premium hotel supply remains constrained due to higher construction costs and longer breakeven timelines, which support pricing power and margin sustainability. Growth in luxury RevPAR has led all chain scales for four straight quarters, with the first quarter of 2025 showing 7.5% year-over-year growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cruise Lines: Premium Pricing Power</h3>
The cruise sector is also sailing toward premium. Goldman notes that Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruises have priced their newest ships at up to 60% premiums over older vessels.
For instance, Royal&#8217;s Icon of the Seas commands a 43% price premium, while NCLH's Norwegian Aqua leads with a 59% markup.
Premium cruise offerings such as "The Haven" suites on Norwegian ships continue to sell out early and achieve top customer satisfaction scores. RCL also noted that ships built after the Oasis class generate 2x the EBITDA of older ships.

Shares of hotel companies are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July. The industry may also be experiencing a rise due to a surge in travel during Memorial Day weekend.

Bank of America Securities offered a cross-sector analysis of the leisure consumer space on Thursday, outlining recent performance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trends across several key segments.</a>
The firm notes that while trends vary by category, segments like cruises and premium travel continue to show steady performance, whereas more value-focused areas are facing weakness.
In the lodging sector, BofA notes that aggregated credit and debit card data for April spending showed a 3% year-over-year decline, in line with March figures.
The firm also sees weakness in its Las Vegas room rate survey, with forward rates down 11%.

Analysts suggest that BofA's card data skews toward leisure spending and aligns with commentary from Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>), and Marriott International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>), all of which noted softer low-end RevPAR trends.
In the timeshare segment, performance remains steady despite broader uncertainty.
On the ski front, Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) reported a 3% drop in ski visits this season, underperforming the overall industry, which was up 2%. The lag may be linked to softer non-pass lift ticket sales, which are typically booked during the season and carry a higher price.
Looking ahead to next season, while the number of passes sold is down, total dollars collected are up through April 20. BofA adds that Memorial Day is typically a key trigger for pass sales, but an uptick in web traffic has yet to materialize.
For cruise, BofA notes that based on aggregated monthly debit and credit card data, spending has slowed from the strong double-digit growth seen late last year to flat year-over-year in April.
While some of this decline may be attributed to the timing of Easter, economic uncertainty over the past few months has also likely played a role.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) specifically flagged a slowdown in booking activity, especially for longer European sailings. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) kept its full-year 2025 net yield guidance unchanged, breaking from the usual pattern of upward revisions.
Overall, cruise operators remain well booked for 2025 and still have time to secure additional bookings for 2026 as the year progresses, BofA notes.

In the current market session, Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) stock price is at $269.22, after a 1.47% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 23.74%, and in the past year, by 14.55%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>A Look at Marriott International P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Marriott International has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 36.62 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747674037_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Wall Street edged lower by midday Tuesday as uncertainty surrounding trade policies lingered, with investors adopting a cautious approach ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">Wednesday&#8217;s Federal Reserve meeting.</a>
In a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. may soon begin renegotiating the USMCA. He noted that China is eager to negotiate due to its struggling economy, driven by a lack of U.S. trade, but emphasized the talks would take place &#8220;at the right time.&#8221;
Trump kept his trade stance unclear, suggesting that while some agreements may be signed, there is no obligation to finalize any, and dismissed repeated questions about the number of deals in progress.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 30 points, or 0.6%, to 5,610, on track for its second consecutive negative session after nine straight gains. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.8%, while the Russell 2000 slipped 1%.
Ten of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors were in the red, with utilities as the only sector in the green. The U.S. dollar fell, extending its losses for a third straight session.
