TL;DR

  • Marriott stock is trading at a steep premium to peers with similar growth rates.
  • Technical charts indicate a potential head-and-shoulders topping formation.
  • A breakdown below the neckline of the pattern could lead to a price target of $285.
  • The company's valuation leaves little room for error in a slowing growth environment.
  • A bearish options trade involving a put vertical spread is suggested to profit from a decline.
