Book value per share is listed about $13. Book should be a minimum of five times what is listed on the financials. It owns some of the best premier hotels properties in the world. That makes this an excellent aquisition target at something approaching $100. It may take two to five years, but it will happen.

HOT is one of the most popular hotel chains out there. At this valuation, and with their future growth (Aloft, W hotel expansion), they are poised to rise significantly over the next year.

With the baby boomers ready to retire and take vacations, Hilton and Starwood are ready to make a huge jump.

Would warrantedly keep the climbing (not necessarily that mad as it did immediately after HLT acquisition), but with such P/E and ESP it's quite a safe bet.

lodging cycle has legs, supply is limited in their chainscale. This company has multiple ways to return value to shareholders via assets sales and mix shift. brands are still very strong. i'm hoping to see some large asset divestitures esp sheraton nyc to drive multiple uplift and buybacks.

will benefit from rising Chinese wealth and travel. Strong brands enable starwood to grow decently via management. Nice blend of ownership / management with room to go asset light, freeing up more capital to build brand. Most global (relatively less US centric) amongst large hoteliers. Significant timeshare component enables brand to tap global capital flows of the wealthy. Capital recycling adds another element to growth.

Good long term strategy. Focusing less on real estate ownership and more on service and brand management. The only hotel group doing anything truly innovative and forward-thinking.

Earnings will continue to rise due to the shortage in hotel room inventory. But the real story here is the introduction of the "aloft" brand, which, if well executed, will create its own market segment.

solid hotel operator with multiple brands; always cutting edge, and willing to reinvent itself. backed by capital group with what appears to be unlimited resources and access to capital.
