Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors that purchased Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MAR) securities between November 9, 2016 and November 29, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

On November 30, 2018, Marriott announced that its guest reservation system had been hacked, potentially exposing the personal information of approximately 500 million guests. On this news, shares of Marriott fell $6.81 or nearly 6%, to close at $115.03 on November 30, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
