description This paper investigates the stock market performance from the second half of February through the latter portion of March 2020 for U.S. travel-related firms (airlines, restaurants, and hotels) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Clearly the reduction in travel was negative news for the travel industry; however, we focus on the factors used by market participants to price the information into stock prices. We find that larger firms with greater cash reserves and higher market-to-book ratios experienced less negative returns, while firms with greater leverage were penalized more. Additionally, we find that cash reserves were particularly important for hotels.
