Hotel Stocks Worth Watching - July 18th

Booking, Hilton Worldwide, and Kraft Heinz are the three Hotel stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Hotel stocks are equity shares of publicly traded companies that own, develop, or manage lodging properties such as hotels and resorts. They provide investors with exposure to the hospitality sector’s performance, which is driven by metrics like occupancy rates, average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR). Because hotel revenues are sensitive to travel demand, economic cycles, and seasonal trends, these stocks can be more volatile than broader market indices. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Hotel stocks within the last several days.
