#4 - Marriott International (NASDAQ:MAR)
According to CBRE, RevPAR (revenue per available room) is supposed to increase by 3% in 2024. This was after reaching a record high in 2023. Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) is a solid pick if you're looking for travel stocks in the hotel niche.
The CBRE report cites international travel and increased convention traffic as key reasons for the expected increase in RevPAR. Marriott excels in both areas. As evidence, the company cited global RevPAR growth of 6% in the first quarter and said that RevPAR growth is consistent for all of its customer segments.
With a forward P/E ratio of 24x, MAR stock isn't necessarily cheap. That's reflected in the fact that analysts have a consensus Hold rating on the stock. However, analysts' expectations for 14% earnings growth could support higher stock prices, particularly if interest rates come down.
