55% Of Vetr Top Raters Still Bearish On Starwood, But Upgrade Stock

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc HOT has been in the spotlight recently, as Marriott International Inc MAR and Chinese Anbag Insurance Group battled to take over the company. While this has helped the stock climb more than 14 percent year-to-date, the past few days have seen the share price tumble about 5.6 percent.

Following said decline, top raters at the Vetr community upgraded the stock from 2.5 Stars to 3.0 Stars - out of a possible 5.0 Star rating.
