Why Hotel and Vacation Stocks Popped on Monday

Shares of hotel and vacation stocks soared on Monday after Pfizer announced positive data from its COVID-19 study. Shares of Hyatt Hotels (NYSE: H) jumped as much as 26.8% and are up 20.7% at 3:30 p.m. EDT. Shares of competitor Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE: HLT) were up 24.9% at their peak and are now up 12.7%.
