With a market cap of $67 billion, Marriott International, Inc. (MAR) is a global leader in the operation, franchising, and licensing of hotels, residences, and timeshare properties. With a diverse portfolio of brands catering to various market segments, the Bethesda, Maryland-based company operates luxury, premium, and select-service hotels worldwide.
Companies worth more than $10 billion are generally described as “large-cap” stocks, and Marriott fits this criterion perfectly. Marriott's two primary operating segments, U.S. & Canada and International, encompass thousands of properties across different price points and service levels.
