Is Marriott International under- or over-valued?

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 shares or simply that they're over-valued.

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.

Shorting Marriott International shares

There are currently 4.8 million Marriott International shares held short by investors – that's known as Marriott International's "short interest". This figure is 0.1% down from 4.8 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Marriott International shares can be evaluated.

Marriott International's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Marriott International's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Marriott International shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Marriott International shares traded daily (recently around 2.0 million). Marriott International's SIR currently stands at 2.39. In other words for every 100,000 Marriott International shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2390 shares are currently held short.

However Marriott International's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Marriott International shares, or, against the total number of tradable Marriott International shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Marriott International's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Marriott International shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0169% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Marriott International shares, roughly 17 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Marriott International.
