The company's market capitalization stands at approximately USD 9,835 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 35.00. Notably, Choice Hotels has a high dividend yield of 29.73%, although it also carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.23, indicating a substantial level of debt relative to its equity.
