Mariott had $214 million net income in 2014. Keurig had $500 million.

EDIT: Mariott actually had 753m net income in 2014.

I happen to think that Keurig is worth acquiring at 28 times their trailing four quarter earnings (it might be a bit high, but that's the price of acquiring). However, you're partially mistaken on those numbers.

Marriott had $753m in net income in 2014. You're referring to just one quarter. They've done $854m in net income the last four quarters (20.8 pe ratio or so).

You're totally right - my mistake.
