4 travel and leisure shares Wi

Given the strong growth in employment in the leisure and hospitality sector in October, four high-quality travel and leisure stocks, Brunswick Corp. (BC, Finance), Monarch Casino & Resort Inc. (MCRI, Finance), Nautilus Inc. (NLS, Finance) and Escalade Inc. (Escale, Financial) according to All-in-One Screener, a premium feature of GuruFocus.

On Friday, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics said the number of non-farm workers rose by 531,000 in October, beating the Dow Jones estimate of 450,000 new jobs. The agency also reported that non-farm employment rose 18.2 million from its April 2020 low, but fell 4.2 million from pre-pandemic levels in February 2020.

The leisure and hospitality sector led the way in employment growth with 164,000 new jobs in October and 2.4 million new jobs year-to-date. As a result, investors may find opportunities in travel and leisure stocks that have high financial strength and profitability but are not grossly overvalued based on GF Value. GuruFocus’ exclusive valuation method is based on Peter Lynch’s profit line and takes into account the historical multiples of a share and adapts to past and future growth estimates. While price-GF-value ratios of less than 0.9 indicate an undervaluation, price-GF-value ratios above 1.3 indicate a significant overvaluation.
