Among six travel and hotel companies, Booking (BKNG) keeps the most operating profit from each sales dollar and grows the second fastest. Its shares are the cheapest on an earnings basis among peers without a loss quarter in their earnings. A $10,000 holding bought a year ago is worth about $7,460 now. Is Booking stock worth more than these rivals, given what it delivers.

A donation service promises a five-figure tax deduction on your timeshare, and the numbers look convincing until you run them against the IRS definition of fair market value and what identical weeks actually sell for on the open market.

The hotels are spread across 11 cities, including Greater Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukuoka.

Booking (BKNG) turns 35% of its sales into operating profit, against 18.6% for the S&P 500. Yet its stock lost 29% in the year to September 23, 2026, while the index returned 13%. Booking expects third-quarter 2026 revenue to grow just 4% to 6%. The question you face is whether that slower growth is a pause or Booking's new pace. Start with what the current price already asks you to pay.

Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAR) and Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HLT) barely own any hotels. Both mostly rent out their names, collect a royalty on someone else’s building, and let a franchisee carry the cost of the carpets. That makes them closer to licensing businesses than to property companies. Two numbers decide which is worth more. […]

Airbnb (ABNB) shares fell 21% in the month to September 23, while the S&P 500 rose 0.8%. A $10,000 holding at the start of that month was worth about $7,860 at the end. Airbnb's own news over those weeks does not explain it, so the fall needs a different explanation.

Airbnb (ABNB) is spending to grow beyond homes, into hotels, car rentals, and other services. For an owner, the risk is that this spending squeezes profit margins while the stock trades at a premium. Management has not said what margin Airbnb expects for 2027.

Despite Host Hotels & Resorts’ underperformance compared to other REIT stocks over the past year, analysts remain optimistic about the stock’s prospects.

Marriott International (MAR) just signed on for its first luxury all inclusive Ritz Carlton resort in Türkiye and deepened its Spotnana partnership, moves that widen both leisure and corporate travel reach.

Carnival Corporation (CCL) threw off free cash worth 9.7% of its market value over the last twelve months, more than twice the 4.4% median for an S&P 500 company. A yield that high usually means a bargain or a business the market expects to shrink. Carnival is not that simple. The cash is real, and a large share of it belongs to its lenders.

Carnival Corporation (CCL) trades near $22, down about 26% over the past year, while the S&P 500 gained close to 18%. The easy read on a cruise line that cheap is that demand finally cracked. It has not. Carnival lowered its 2026 yield outlook after the Middle East conflict hit its European sailings, and part of that cut was its own choice to protect price rather than fill cabins.
