Hyatt, which shares space with Choice Hotels (CHH - Free Report) , Hilton (HLT - Free Report) and Marriott Vacations Worldwide (VAC - Free Report) , carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
