The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Marriott International's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Marriott International share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 28.05% of net profits

Recently Marriott International has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Marriott International shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Marriott International's case, that would currently equate to about $2.19 per share.

While Marriott International's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Marriott International may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Marriott International's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Marriott International's shares ever split?

Marriott International's shares were split on a 1061:1000 basis on 21 November 2011 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1061 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Marriott International shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Marriott International shares which in turn could have impacted Marriott International's share price.

Marriott International share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Marriott International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $187.4236 up to $266.58. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Marriott International's is 1.592. This would suggest that Marriott International's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
