Victoria's Secret Beats Q2 Earnings & Revenue Estimates

<p><strong>Marriott International, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mar#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) is likely to benefit from solid leisure demand, a loyalty program and unit-expansion efforts. The focus on hotel conversions bodes well. However, soft demand in China is a concern.</p>
<p>Let us discuss the factors that highlight why investors should retain the stock for now.</p>
<h2>Growth Catalysts</h2>
<p>Marriott has been gaining from pent-up leisure demand. In second-quarter 2024, the company posted RevPAR growth across all customer segments &mdash; group, leisure transient and business transient &mdash; with increases in room nights and ADR. Group business, accounting for 24% of worldwide room nights, remained the strongest segment, with group RevPAR up 10% year over year.</p>
<p>The company witnessed robust demand during second-quarter 2024. The company&#39;s net rooms grew 6% year over year. In comparison, global RevPAR increased nearly 5%, supported by a 3% rise in the average daily rate and an occupancy increase of approximately 150 basis points, reaching 73%.</p>
<p>MAR&#39;s global RevPAR index continues to rise, reflecting its strong position in the market. RevPAR in the United States and Canada saw a nearly 4% gain, aided by the shift of the Easter holiday, with all chain scales from select service to luxury reporting positive growth. Internationally, RevPAR rose more than 7%, led by a 13% increase in Asia Pacific (excluding China). The upside was backed by robust macro trends and increased cross-border travel, particularly from Mainland China. Japan, in particular, saw a 21% rise in RevPAR. The EMEA region reported nearly 10% growth, while CALA posted a 9% increase. The company expects global RevPAR to rise 3-4% year over year in the second quarter and full year in 2024.</p>
<p>The company continues to enhance its Bonvoy loyalty program, which now has more than 210 million members (as of second-quarter 2024). It launched Business Access by Marriott Bonvoy, a comprehensive online travel program targeting small- and medium-sized corporate clients. The initial adoption of the platform exceeded expectations. In addition, partnerships with Rakuten in Japan, Alibaba in China and Rappi in CALA continue to drive strong international Bonvoy enrollments. During the second quarter, the program&#39;s global room night penetration reached 71% in the United States and Canada and 65% worldwide.</p>
<p>Marriott&#39;s global portfolio continues to grow faster than the overall industry supply, adding approximately 15,500 net rooms in the second quarter. Signing activity remains strong, particularly in APEC and Greater China, contributing to a pipeline of more than 559,000 rooms. Conversions played a significant role, representing 37% of openings and 32% of signings. Construction starts in the United States and Canada rose 40% year over year in the second quarter, reflecting growing development momentum. It expects positive development trends to continue on the back of new development and multiunit conversion opportunities.</p>
<h2>Concerns</h2>
<p><img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/7b/75340.jpg?v=780158394" /></p>
<p>Image Source: Zacks Investment Research</p>
<p>Marriott&#39;s shares have declined 4.8% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s 0.8% fall. Softer domestic demand in China primarily caused the downside.</p>
<p>During the second quarter, the company posted dismal performance in China. RevPAR in Greater China dropped approximately 4% due to macroeconomic pressures that led to weaker domestic demand. Additionally, the region saw an uptick in outbound high-end travelers, which further impacted local markets. While there was positive RevPAR growth in Tier 1 cities like Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, these gains were offset by declines across other areas, particularly in Hainan, which experienced a meaningful downturn. The company is cautious about persistent softness in demand and pricing trends in China for the remainder of 2024.</p>
<h2>Our Thoughts</h2>
<p>Marriott offers a balanced mix of growth opportunities and challenges, making it a stock worth holding. Its impressive global RevPAR growth, robust loyalty program and strategic room additions position it for long-term success. MAR&#39;s continued focus on high-growth regions and conversion deals underscores its ability to maintain market leadership and capitalize on leisure demand trends.</p>
<p>However, investors should remain cautious due to the company&#39;s exposure to weaker domestic demand in China, which could put pressure on overall performance. Additionally, Marriott&#39;s current valuation &mdash; with a forward P/E ratio of 22.05X compared with the industry&#39;s 21.80X &mdash; suggests premium pricing that might limit significant upside potential in the near term. While these risks warrant attention, the company&#39;s solid fundamentals and strategic growth initiatives provide enough reasons for investors to retain the stock. The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) justifies our thesis.</p>

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Small-cap stocks have emerged in 2024 after many years in the wilderness. The <strong>Russell 2000 </strong>is up nearly 11% in the past month through July 31. While it&rsquo;s hard to know how small-cap stocks with low debt have performed over this period, investors are undoubtedly paying more attention to them.</p>




<p>&ldquo;&lsquo;I think the narrative has changed,&rsquo; said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer at North Star Investment Management Corp, which specializes in small-cap stocks. &lsquo;I&rsquo;m hoping &hellip; this jump over the last week is really just the beginning of what could be a very long, multi-year period of time where small caps could make up a lot of ground,&rdquo; <em>Reuters </em>reported the portfolio manager&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/rotation-trade-takes-small-caps-dead-money-wall-street-darlings-2024-07-18/">comments</a> in mid-July.</p>




<p>How does one know whether the 2024 performance of small-cap stocks is real or imagined? A <em>Reddit </em>post from late May tells me it&rsquo;s the former. The headline <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1dgr59c/small_cap_value_has_never_been_more_brutal/">stated</a> <em>Small Cap Value has never been more brutal.&nbsp;</em></p>



<p>If ever there were a buy signal, that would be it.</p>



<p>While value is hard to pin down, my idea of value is those stocks that trade for reasonable multiples and have fortress-like balance sheets.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here are my three small-cap stocks with low debt to buy for growth at reasonable prices.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Hudson Technologies (HDSN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="300" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/hudson-log-300x300.jpeg" alt="Hudson Technologies (HDSN) logo"><div>Source: www.hudsontech.com</div></div><p><strong>Hudson Technologies </strong>(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hdsn-stock-quote/"><strong>HDSN</strong></a></span>) is the smallest of the three small-cap stocks, with a market capitalization of $388 million. It has net cash of $4.3 million based on a total debt of just <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/hdsn/financials">$6.23 million</a> against $10.6 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is the first time I&rsquo;ve ever heard of Hudson Technologies, so I&rsquo;m just as naive as you are about what it does to make money.</p>



<p>As best I can tell, the New York-based company sells products and services to <a href="https://www.hudsontech.com/about-us/">reduce greenhouse gas emissions</a>. It focuses on the HVACR (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration) industry.&nbsp;</p>




<p>&ldquo;One of the largest refrigerant selections in the country, featuring our certified reclaimed Emerald&reg; Refrigerants,&rdquo; its website states.&nbsp;</p>




<p>The company&rsquo;s results in 2024 aren&rsquo;t going to be as good as last year, which is why its stock is down nearly 40% year-to-date. However, as its CEO stated in its Q1 2024 press release, the business will improve as HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) are phased out.&nbsp;</p>




<p>&ldquo;&hellip; [I]t is important to reiterate our confidence that the phasedown of HFC will ultimately move pricing higher, accelerate reclamation adoption and drive enhanced profitability in our business,&rdquo; CEO Brian Coleman <a href="https://www.hudsontech.com/financial-results-earnings-calls/hudson-technologies-reports-first-quarter-2024-results/">stated</a>.</p>




<h2>Monarch Casino &amp; Resort (MCRI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mcri-stock-300x169.jpg" alt=""><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>Monarch Casino and Resort (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mcri-stock-quote/"><strong>MCRI</strong></a></span>) is the second largest of the small-cap stocks, with a market cap of $$1.46 billion. It has a net cash of $19.3 million based on a total debt of just <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/mcri/financials">$20.2 million</a> against $39.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although I&rsquo;m not a gambler, the company has <a href="https://www.monarchcasino.com/corporate-overview.asp">two casinos</a> in Reno, Nevada and Blackhawk, Colorado. They seem to do pretty well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno has 61,000 square feet of casino space, 824 rooms and a 30,000-square-foot spa.&nbsp;</p>




<p>&ldquo;The casino features approximately 1,200 slot and video poker machines; approximately 38 table games, including blackjack, craps, roulette and others; a race and sports book; a 24-hour live keno lounge and a poker room,&rdquo; its website states.&nbsp;</p>




<p>Monarch Casino Resort Spa in Colorado has 64,000 square feet of casino space, 516 guest rooms and a rooftop pool and spa. The casino features over 950 slot machines and 24 table games.</p>



<p>The best thing about MCRI is its very healthy adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation) margin of <a href="https://www.monarchcasino.com/press-release/press-release-20240724.asp">34.3%</a>. In Q2 2o24, that meant an EBITDA profit of nearly $44 million on record second-quarter revenue of $128.1 million.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Patria Investments (PAX)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/pax-1-300x169.jpg" alt="The website for the Paxos (PAX) crypto displayed in front of a logo background."><div>Source: Grey82 / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Patria Investments (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pax-stock-quote/"><strong>PAX</strong></a>) is the largest of the small-cap stocks with a market cap of $1.98 billion. It has a net cash of $23.5 million based on a total debt of just $15.6 million against $39.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.</p>


<p></p>
<p>Patria is a leading alternative asset manager in Latin America. With over 35 years of experience, it currently has more than <a href="https://ir.patria.com/">$32 billion</a> in assets under management. The company provides its clients with private equity, infrastructure, credit, real estate, public equities and global private markets investments.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>PAX stock has not done well. It is down YTD over the past year and nearly 35% over the past five years.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The business seems to be doing okay. In Q1 2024, it grew its fee-related earnings by over 13% to $35 million, accounting for 58% of its $60.6 million in fee revenue in the quarter, up from 56% in Q1 2023.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>At the same time, it expects to raise $5 billion in capital in 2024, with about 22% already completed. Excluding acquisitions, it&rsquo;s added $5.1 billion in assets under management in the last 12 months.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Trading well off its February 2021 highs in the $20s, buying below $15 makes sense for buy-and-hold investors.</p>
