The first trading day in our data for Marriott International is October 12, 1993 (its first day in our records, which may be later than its listing and is not its founding). At its peak, on March 12, 1998, the market valued it at $10.3 billion. It left the market without a crash, last trading at $35.56. Our data does not say why it stopped trading. Many companies end this way when they are bought, merged or taken private.

Share prices are adjusted for splits and other share changes, so the high and the last price compare like for like; the peak market value is as it was on the day. The return covers the trading days in our data only: it does not include what holders received, or lost, after the last trade (a merger payout, a bankruptcy), and it does not reach back before 1993.
