Is Marriott International stock undervalued or overvalued?

Marriott International's P/E ratio

Marriott International's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 29x. In other words, Marriott International shares trade at around 29x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

Marriott International's PEG ratio

Marriott International's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.734. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

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 stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Marriott International stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 23.04% 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 $2.3 per share.

While Marriott International's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Marriott International is investing more in its future growth.

Marriott International's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 20 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Marriott International's stocks ever split?

Marriott International's stocks 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 stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Marriott International stocks, which in turn could have impacted Marriott International's stock price.

Marriott International stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Marriott International's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $203.5107 up to $295.45. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Marriott International's is 1.585. This would suggest that Marriott International's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
