MAR will take a tumble this week on news of cancel culture policy

this stock and brand used to be one of my favs. my vision and analytics r not working in this china virus environment. u could very well be right. a big tsunami shift is happening right now, people r sprinting away from the big city centers/downtowns, and buying up all they can in neighboring suburbs with good schools and safety. the numbers im seeing r mind boggling

This stock should be 15.00. Hell is coming. You cant get antibodies in adults. Thats why u vaccinate children. You trick the immunine ststem. Short till 15

I absolutely agree

administration's hesitant to order nationwide quarantine. that leads me to believe there's a cure coming shortly. however, if there ain't, and administration is procrastinating for no reason, hell will freeze over. i posted a potential medicine, that should be tested.
MAR under $100 is super cheap

Marriott, Hotel Owners to Furlough Thousands of Workers or Cut Staff -- Update

Marriott International Inc., the world's largest hotel company, and a growing number of hotel owners are furloughing tens of thousands of workers or slashing staff in an effort to steer their companies through the coronavirus pandemic.

A spokeswoman for Marriott confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that the company is furloughing about two-thirds of its 4,000 corporate employees at the company's Bethesda, Md., headquarters. Marriott is also furloughing about two-thirds of its corporate staff abroad, though the spokeswoman said she couldn't immediately provide the number of Marriott corporate overseas jobs.

Those actions follow Marriott's decision to begin furloughing what the company expects to be tens of thousands of hotel staff -- from managers to housekeepers -- while it ramps up hotel closings across the globe.

The hospitality industry has been upended by the collapse in global travel as companies halt business trips, conference organizers call off events and vacationers put plans on hold in response to the pandemic, and as local governments order residents to stay in place. Hotels are suffering the brunt of this sudden evaporation of travel, which is wiping out in a matter of weeks all the profits many companies had piled up over the past few years.

Some lodging companies are taking even more drastic steps than Marriott, furloughing or letting go more than 9 in 10 employees in some cases.

Ashford Inc., the Dallas-based firm that owns 130 hotels across the U.S., is laying off or furloughing 95% of 7,000 employees, Chief Executive Monty Bennett said. He expects about one-third of those employees probably won't be coming back.

An immediate concern is Ashford's $4 billion to $5 billion in debt. Some payments are due next month, Mr. Bennett said, and he doesn't expect to be able to pay all of them.

"Every single U.S. hotel will default on its debt in the next 30, maybe 60 days," he said. "It's a disaster that's snowballing."

Another hotel owner, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, is furloughing about 90% to 95% of its 8,000 employees, CEO Jon Bortz said. He has closed about half the company's 54 hotels; occupancy levels at the ones that remain open have dwindled to the single digits.

"This is incredible hardship," Mr. Bortz said. "Any industry where human contact is involved has been decimated."

With so little business, it makes no sense to keep operating. Mr. Bortz said he expects most of his hotels that are still open to suspend operations over the next five days.

Lodging owners across the country are being forced to make similar calculations. With occupancy levels plunging by the day, it is a challenge for hoteliers to make payroll, let alone pay other expenses and meet debt obligations, they said. And as they opt to close more properties with no known reopen date, they feel they have little choice but to reduce staff and hope the company can remain afloat.

On Sunday, Rick Takach, CEO of Vesta Hospitality, owner and operator of 17 hotels, said he has concluded that cuts to his hotel-management company haven't been enough. "So, deeper cuts are needed," he said. "That means either much lower salaries and hours or the elimination of personnel. That is a decision I am trying to make today or tomorrow."

Hotel workers have been stunned at the suddenness with which they have been sent off. Shelby Halpin, who worked as a guest-services specialist and a guide in a ski resort in Big Sky, Mont., said she was told on Tuesday that she no longer had a job after the resort closed.

"The next day I put everything I owned into my jeep and left," said Ms. Halpin. "We were kicked out of the place. It was so surreal."

Marriott Chief Executive Arne Sorenson said in a video message to his employees on Thursday that Marriott business is now running about 75% below normal levels, making this period more devastating than any other in the history of the nearly century-old hotel company. He said that the financial impact was worse than the post-Sept. 11 period and financial crisis combined.

Marriott told The Wall Street Journal that the corporate-staff furloughs would begin early next month and estimate that they will last 60 to 90 days. During that period, furloughed U.S. corporate employees will receive 20% of their salary toward health-care and other costs, the spokeswoman said. Corporate employees who stay on are subject to 20% pay cuts and reduced workweeks, the spokeswoman said.

Marriott is the world's largest hotel company with nearly 1.4 million rooms world-wide, 30 brands and about 7,300 properties, but rivals like Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. and Hyatt Hotels Corp. cannot help but pursue their own corporate-staff reductions or other cost-cutting, hotel owners say.

Representatives for Hilton and Hyatt didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Hotel executives aren't going unscathed. Mr. Sorenson and board Chairman Bill Marriott have stopped receiving a salary during this period, the CEO said in the video. His executive team will take a 50% cut in salary.

At Hersha Hospitality Trust, which owns nearly 50 hotels, the CEO and chief operating officer said they are reducing their salaries by 50%, and the board of trustees will take all payments in stock for the remainder of 2020.

Mr. Sorenson and other hospitality and travel executives met with President Trump in Washington on Tuesday, when they asked for $250 billion in financial aid for the beleaguered industries. Hotel owners say they can't wait much longer for assistance.

"I feel the government has turned its back on us," said Mr. Bennett.

Disclosure... my employer is Marriott... I'm deeply troubled.

$200 in 2 years

ooooversoold, ooooverreacting, hello long calls

$15,000 room revenue, $32,000 room appraisal by MMs

$15,000 average yearly revenue per room

$45.3bln market cap, 1,400,000 rooms worldwide, including Ritz. that means $32,000 per room, is this a joke

$45bln market cap?! just the Ritz in South Beach is $2bln imo... just the Ritz real estate is $45bln imo

wow, the Ritz South Beach reopens. i guess somebody must ve read my post, and the Super Bowl week is sold out. when i checked last time, the reservations were available from 04/15/2020. so, i say now, all is good with MAR, ready for launch.

so, the Ritz in South Beach will reopen in several months, although it says end of 2019, in local language that means mañana.
that also means no fat Superbowl revenue... But Superbowl exposure is a big thing imo. the Mar stock may suffer a little, but i think after the renovation is done, the luxury real estate in Miami Beach will wake up again. i witness record crowds here, and just because the Ritz will reopen at some point in time, im bullish on the lux real estate(no new hurricanes ie)

New information that has come to my attention since I posted this comment/warning cause me to now withdraw this comment/warning. I no longer stand by it. I tried to delete it, but Investors Hub does not allow deletion, so I am adding this update to let readers know that I no longer agree with this comment/report.

That’s laughable at best. Although there was a dip around the same time you posted, it was likely due to Arnie going public about having cancer - my guess anyways.

Regardless... Wish I were in position to take advantage of the dip. Missed out.

Marriott stock about to drop from scandal news

Marriott is about to be the subject of a serious national scandal in the coming weeks.
Learn more at this beta web site: https://squashmarriottbedbugs.com/
Marriott was cheap about bed bug prevention, which resulted in a terrible bed bug problem at many of their properties.
Adding insult to injury, Marriott has engaged in a systematic cover up of these bed bug infestations.
Marriott has been caught.
A major national campaign will soon launch which will make this scandal known to the general public.
The campaign has significant funding and backing from numerous related organizations.
Marriott’s stock price is likely to drop significantly when this scandal hits soon.

Nice gains today, for those whom day-trade Cos @ $100+ per share :)

This company is a BEAST.

You are referencing your (1) experience at a Fairfield located somewhere in Tennessee to sum up this companies performance?

That’s DD at its best, as far as I’m concerned. Incredible.

Marriott needs to keep an eye on all properties. The Fairfield inn and suites of Johnson City TN has some Major problems. The gm had the elevator phone shut off and a guest got stuck after the decision. He could not call for help. Twas illegal and the management company which is Gibson hotels in Knoxville is aware of this. Marriott please investigate!

Your guess is as good as mine, I’d say. I? was expecting a drawback earlier in the year due to the hefty costs associated with the acquisition of all Starwood Hotels, followed by an increase once profits began to actualize....but that never happened. Lol. Just keeps moving north.

Forward split certainly isn’t out of the question, but what do I? know...

How high can it go? Forward Split in the cards?

PPS Just keeps climbing...What a Beast!

Not sure if anyone else notices this, but MAR analysts have been underestimating earnings due to management guidance for many quarters.

For sure. However, not many can provide enough liquidity or even afford enough share to make a different when trading at 117ish..... this company is rock solid. Wish I would have grabbed as much as possibly in the 50/60 range (of course lower as well). Marriott is a beast. Happy for those that got in low.

Already at $115!!! Not sure why these analysts are slow to the party with their conservative estimates...guess they want to keep it low and invest for themselves ;)

Yeah... I honestly haven't done a great deal of "digging" or even really closely watching how it trades from day to day, shorts etc.. This company is as legit and sound as it gets.

Most don't know that on average, there is a new Marriott managed property opened every 14 hours. Almost 2 per day. Taking over the industry in certain ways and gaining more & more leverage against oppositions such as discount websites i.e. Expedia and so on, along with competing hospitality management companies. Especially after the acquisition of Starwood. Marriott now has the largest rewards recognition program in the world, literally.

The strategy behind this company is what continuously blows me away.

Now over 30 brands that tailor towards every segment of traveler throughout every edge of the world.

On another note regarding strategy....Many do not realize that the select service aspect of Marriott is one of the key components of revenue. So even if the market gets rocked, the most affordable options in their portfolio will only attribute at an even higher level. The soundest foundation imaginable.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's going to go up or down day to day, month to month or YOY. Simply a solid indication that this is a long term investment that is set for incredible success, as well as weather any possible 'storms' that other companies in the same sector may not last through.

All in my opinion, of course.

What specific recent downgrades are you referring to?

How high can it go? Despite recent downgrades it keeps going nowhere but up!

Gotta love it! Incredible company.

I love it. Very strong financials for q1. I'd expect to see Marriott finish 2017 strong.

Haha knew it would hit 100 but not so quickly!

What do your fundamentals say now?

Soroban Capital Partners LP has filed a new 13G, reporting 5.4% ownership in $MAR - https://fintel.io/so/us/mar
