What are five examples of publicly-traded companies that get a higher
earnings (P/E) multiple than their industry peers because of their
"premium" (high end) brand, such as Ritz-Carlton, Tiffany's, etc. vs.
Marriott, Wal-mart, as well as other companies that "make the point":
high end equals higher stock value.  Need comparative stock charts for
each example.  Thank you!

Clarification of info needed: Specific examples of higher
Price/earnings multiples as a factor of perceived "brand premiums" -
e.g., examples of "high priced" products (Nordstroms) or services
trading for more than their market sector peers (retail stores).
