Marriott Logo News Summary

Marriott International Inc. and LG Electronics have jointly developed a new cloud-based guest room entertainment and technology platform to support a modern, scalable guest room experience across Marriott's participating hotel portfolio. The first step in an expanded strategic collaboration between the companies, this new initiative combines LG's hospitality technology and connected-device capabilities with Marriott's guest experience and enterprise technology infrastructure. As Marriott focuses on its test and learn strategy, the new platform is rolling out initially in a pilot program in 40 hotels in the United States and Canada with the goal of a global rollout. , /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International and LG Electronics announced a long-term strategic collaboration focused on enhancing the guest experience, beginning with a cloud platform for guest room entertainment and technology. Marriott plans to adopt the jointly developed platform across its participating hotel portfolio, bringing a modern approach to in-room entertainment and laying the foundation for device management and connected guest experiences across Marriott properties.

"Our collaboration with LG reflects Marriott's commitment to building technology that elevates the guest experience across our portfolio," said Drew Pinto, Marriott International Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue and Technology Officer. "By combining LG's connected-device capabilities with Marriott's hospitality expertise and enterprise platform, we are creating a more seamless, personalized guest room experience while helping hotel teams operate more efficiently. This work is an important step toward building a smarter technology ecosystem that evolves alongside the needs of our guests."

State-of-the-Art Technology Meets Global Hospitality Expertise
Given Marriott's long-standing relationship with LG, the company was selected to expand its work with the world's largest hotel company to support its hospitality tech ecosystem, starting with an innovative guest room entertainment and technology platform for next-generation guest experiences. Marriott is shaping the platform around guest experience, property operations, and enterprise integration needs, while LG is co-developing the platform, device management, and technical support behind it.

"A prime goal is to make the TV part of a connected guest room experience rather than a standalone device," said John Won, LG Electronics Senior Vice President and head of LG's U.S. commercial display solutions B2B business. "This new guest room technology platform helps turn the displays into a more unified experience for travelers, providing entertainment, hotel content, and room functions with a seamless, easy-to-use system." The technology enables seamless authentication and management of LG smart hotel TVs and set-top boxes across participating Marriott properties, while reducing reliance on traditional on-premises video distribution infrastructure. LG's connected device capabilities are integrated with Marriott's infrastructure to enable future smart-room experience.

Beyond enhancing the guest room experience, the platform provides Marriott with a centralized enterprise management environment for its in-room technology. Marriott associate teams will now have the ability to monitor device health, performance, and status across individual guest room televisions, entire hotel properties, specific brands or groups of hotels, and even its broader property portfolio. This centralized approach enables faster issue identification, more efficient content and application updates, and improved operational visibility across Marriott's global hospitality network.

A key feature of the technology is its in-room entertainment system, which supports linear TV, streaming and FAST channels, including over 40 OTT applications and 250 channels. The television experience will also offer personalized advertising through LG Channels and client-side ad insertion capabilities.

Strategic Vision
The guest room technology will launch with an initial pilot across Marriott brands in 40 locations in the United States and Canada before potentially expanding more broadly in Marriott's global portfolio at participating hotels.

 As the collaboration evolves, Marriott and LG intend to explore opportunities to extend connected digital experiences and centralized management capabilities into public and shared spaces throughout hotel properties, creating a more unified technology ecosystem across the hospitality environment.

Pre-Market Stock Futures: Futures are trading modestly higher as we have arrived at the day everyone on Wall Street has circled on their calendars. The July consumer price index will be released at 8:30 AM EDT, and the producer price index will be released at the same time tomorrow. Economists forecast headline CPI to rise 0.1% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year, with core CPI expected to increase 0.2% month-over-month and 2.5% year-over-year. One thing is for sure; if the numbers come in hot and above expectations, the stock market could see a bout of heavy selling. All of the major indices finished the day lower on Tuesday, except the small-cap Russell 2000, which closed at 3,027, up 0.32%. It remains the leading index in 2026, up 21.5% year to date. The technology-heavy Nasdaq was down the most on Tuesday, closing at 26,445, down 0.60%, while the S&P 500 finished the day at 7,728, down 0.32%. Last but not least, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the session at 53,791, down 0.34%.

Treasury Bonds: Yields were modestly lower across the entire Treasury curve, as everyone in the fixed-income arena again awaits today’s and tomorrow’s inflation numbers. A reading above expectations is likely to hasten the return of sellers, though the response could be less than expected, as rates have surged higher over the last month. While a number below the estimates is likely good news for equity markets and could prompt some buying of corporate and government debt, as yields have reached their highest levels in 20 years, especially on the long end. The 30-year long bond finished the day at 5.25%, while the benchmark 10-year note was last seen at 4.69%. 

Oil and Gas: Prices were higher once again across the energy complex as traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has slowed to a crawl, with only 6 vessels making the passage on Monday. Iran made the bold announcement that the Straits will remain closed until the United States meets its conditions, a claim highly unlikely, as both countries hurled demands for reparations at each other earlier this week. Brent Crude closed Tuesday’s trading at $89.13, up 3.83%, while West Texas Intermediate was last seen at $83.36, up 1.23%. Natural gas closed lower at $2.75, down 1.54%. 

Gold: After a good August stretch for the precious metals, the sellers stepped in on Tuesday, citing the same concerns others across Wall Street have: the July inflation numbers. Gold closed Tuesday down 0.49% at $4.366, while Silver finished the session at $64.79, down 1.61%. 

Crypto: Bitcoin slipped roughly 1.2% on Tuesday, declining toward the $63,500–$64,000 range. The broader crypto market capitalization fell about 1% to $2.19 trillion, as a failed attempt to break above $65,000, renewed U.S.–Iran geopolitical tensions, and ETF outflows prompted cautious pre-CPI consolidation. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin was trading at $64,097, while Ethereum was trading at $1,912.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports every day to identify fresh investment ideas for investors and traders alike. These daily analyst notes include recommendations on stocks to buy, sell, or avoid, as well as new coverage initiations.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Marriott International (MAR - Free Report) Marriott International, Inc. is a leading hospitality company focused on hotel management, franchising and licensing. The company operates across the U.S. & Canada, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, Greater China and Asia Pacific, excluding China, with the Caribbean & Latin America included in the unallocated corporate and other segment reporting. Marriott earns franchise fees, base management fees and incentive management fees, and it also earns fees tied to its co-branded credit card programs and residential branding.

MAR is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. MAR has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 16.6% for the current fiscal year.

Five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.04 to $11.68 per share. MAR boasts an average earnings surprise of +2.5%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, MAR should be on investors' short list.

Key Takeaways Marriott's second-quarter fee revenues and adjusted EBITDA each rose 13% year over year.MAR's record 629,000-room pipeline supports mid-single-digit net room growth over the next few years.Marriott trades at 27.5X forward earnings as debt, interest costs and regional volatility add risks. Marriott International, Inc. (MAR - Free Report) enters the second half of 2026 with faster fee growth, a record development pipeline and a higher full-year outlook. Those strengths support the long-term earnings case for its asset-light model.

The trade-off is price. MAR’s valuation stands above hotel-industry and broad-market benchmarks, leaving less room for weaker execution, slower openings or regional demand shocks.

Marriott’s Fee Engine Keeps ExpandingSecond-quarter gross fee revenues increased 13% year over year to $1.58 billion. Higher revenue per available room, or RevPAR, net room growth and increased co-branded credit card fees drove the gain, while incentive management fees rose 6% to $212 million.

Adjusted EBITDA also increased 13% to $1.59 billion. The matching growth rates show how additional rooms, pricing and loyalty-related income can flow through Marriott’s largely fee-based structure without requiring heavy ownership of hotel real estate.

MAR’s Growth Pipeline Supports Future FeesMarriott ended June with a record pipeline of about 629,000 rooms, up nearly 7% from a year earlier. More than 279,000 rooms were under construction, including pending conversions, and management still expects mid-single-digit net room growth over the next few years.

Conversions represented 40% of first-half openings and 34% of signings, helping shorten the path from agreement to fee generation. Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT - Free Report) also operates a largely fee-based model and reported a development pipeline of 527,000 rooms as of March 31, 2026, highlighting competition for hotel-owner signings.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H - Free Report) likewise describes its model as asset-light and expects its strategy to support compounding fee growth. Marriott’s scale, brand breadth and conversion activity remain important advantages as hotel companies compete for development opportunities.

Marriott’s Valuation Leaves Less Room for ErrorMAR trades at 27.5X forward 12-month earnings. That compares with 20.4X for the hotel sub-industry, 16.5X for the consumer discretionary sector and 20.6X for the S&P 500.

The premium reflects Marriott’s global scale, recurring fee streams, pipeline visibility and improving 2026 outlook. Still, investors are paying ahead for continued execution. Any slowdown in RevPAR, room additions or fee monetization could pressure the multiple even if the business remains fundamentally sound.

MAR Faces Leverage and Regional VolatilityTotal debt reached $16.9 billion at June 30, 2026, up from $16.2 billion at year-end 2025. Net interest expense rose to $201 million from $191 million in the prior-year quarter, while Marriott expects to return more than $4.5 billion to shareholders in 2026.

Regional conditions add another layer of risk. Middle East RevPAR declined 43% in the second quarter, contributing to a 0.5% drop in international RevPAR. Construction delays in the region also pushed expected 2026 net room growth toward the low end of the prior 4.5-5% range.

MAR’s Mixed Signals Favor PatienceMarriott’s operating outlook remains constructive, but the valuation and balance-sheet demands reduce the margin for disappointment. The shares may be better suited to investors willing to wait for a more favorable entry point than to those chasing near-term momentum.

MAR currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Its Momentum Score of A and Growth Score of B support the stock’s price trend and business-growth profile, while the Value Score of D signals a less attractive valuation setup. Together, those readings favor a measured stance rather than a clear buy call. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Investors checked out on Marriott International NYSE: MAR, sending the stock down nearly 7%, after the company delivered its Q2 2026 earnings report. The company had a bottom-line beat with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) coming in at $3.19, ahead of expectations of $3.08.

But the topline was a miss with revenue of $7.07 billion, coming in shy of estimates of $7.19 billion. It should be noted that revenue exceeded the $6.74 billion recorded in the same quarter in 2025.

Investors are conditioned to sell first and ask questions later. With a day or two of hindsight, MAR is likely to look considerably more attractive than it did heading into the report.

Behind the Miss, the Fee Machine Kept HummingOne reason why investors should give MAR a second look is the company’s fee business. The revenue miss tells only part of the story. Marriott's high-margin fee business is where the real signal lives. Gross fee revenues rose 13% to $1.578 billion. Franchise fees alone jumped 19% to $1.02 billion, driven by room growth, RevPAR gains, and stronger co-branded credit card income.

That fee strength pushed Adjusted EBITDA to $1.592 billion, up 13% year over year. Adjusted net income climbed to $844 million from $728 million. Reported net income was essentially flat at $766 million, weighed down by one-time items that investors may be overlooking.

Two charges explain much of the gap between reported and adjusted results. A $68 million impairment tied to the sale of a U.S. & Canada hotel was recognized in depreciation expense. A $27 million property-related litigation accrual also dented owned and leased results. Strip those out, and underlying profitability looks considerably healthier than the headline suggests.

The K-Shaped Travel Recovery Shows Up AgainMarriott's quarter is a textbook case of K-shaped demand playing out geographically. Worldwide RevPAR rose 3.4%, but the U.S. & Canada did the heavy lifting with 5% growth. International RevPAR actually declined 0.5%, dragged down by one region in particular.

The Middle East saw RevPAR plunge over 35%, reflecting ongoing regional conflict. That single region overwhelmed solid gains elsewhere. Europe grew, Greater China rose over 3%, and the Asia Pacific climbed more than 5% on strong leisure demand.

This bifurcation matters for the bear case. If Middle East disruption persists, it could continue to drag on blended international numbers even as core markets remain resilient. Investors betting on a clean global recovery story should note this isn't one.

Current Price$344.11High Forecast$425.00Average Forecast$387.24Low Forecast$345.00Marriott International Stock Forecast Details

Here's where the sell-first reaction looks especially disconnected from the numbers.

Marriott raised its full-year RevPAR growth outlook to 3%-3.5%, up from prior guidance. That's not a sign of a company bracing for weaker demand ahead.

The development pipeline also hit a record, reaching roughly 4,200 properties and 629,000 rooms. Conversions drove over a third of signings in the first half. 

A growing pipeline typically signals owner confidence in Marriott's brand economics, not developer hesitation.

Marriott Bonvoy's loyalty base grew past 295 million members. New long-term co-branded card agreements with JPMorgan Chase and American Express should further extend fee growth.

These deals are structural tailwinds, not one-quarter blips.

Technical Picture Reflects the SkepticismThe chart confirms what the price action suggests: sentiment, not fundamentals, drove the drop. MAR's MACD line sits at -0.81, below its signal line at -1.23, a bearish crossover that emerged into earnings. RSI-adjacent momentum has clearly cooled from June's highs near $400.

Shares are now testing support just above the 200-day SMA, currently near $335. That moving average has provided a reliable floor through most of 2026. A close below it would open the door toward the next support zone.

For a company raising guidance and growing fees at double-digit rates, the technical damage looks overdone. That gap between price action and fundamentals is exactly the setup value-oriented investors watch for.

MAR May Be Giving Investors the Entry They’ve Waited ForWhatever the reason for the post-earnings pullback in MAR stock, investors who’ve been on the sidelines should pay attention. The only thing wrong with Marriott has been the price investors are paying, which is elevated compared to the S&P 500 and its historical average.

The next key level to watch is the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) around $335. Below that, key support sits around $314, a level that held twice in 2026. If MAR retests that area, the stock would offer about 23% upside to the consensus price target near $387.

Ben Watson checks in to Next Gen Investing to provide his takeaways from Marriott's (MAR) post-earnings sell-off. He's looking at the company's RevPAR (or Revenue per available room) as a key indicator to track.

Marriott International, Inc. (MAR) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Shares in Marriott International Inc (NYSE:MAR) fell 4% in pre-market trading in New York despite the hotel group beating profit forecasts and raising its full-year outlook for room revenue growth.

Adjusted earnings of $3.19 a share for the three months to June came in comfortably ahead of the $3.05 to $3.08 that analysts had pencilled in.

The problem lay on the top line, where revenue of $7.07 billion undershot consensus estimates ranging from $7.17 billion to $7.26 billion.

That figure is a blunt instrument for a company like Marriott, since more than $5 billion of it is cost reimbursement revenue that the company collects from hotel owners and passes straight back out with no mark-up.

Stripped of that, adjusted revenue rose 11% to $2.01 billion. The more substantive concern is the shape of the second half.

Marriott guided to third-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.74 to $2.82 a share and adjusted profit growth of 7% to 9%, a marked deceleration from the 13% delivered in the second quarter.

Full-year adjusted earnings guidance of $11.64 to $11.81 sits barely above the $11.64 consensus, meaning the second-quarter beat has not been carried through to the annual number.

The company also pointed to the low end of its 4.5% to 5% range for net room growth.

International trading remains the weak spot, with revenue per available room down 0.5% as a 43% collapse in the Middle East swamped a 5% gain in Europe and modest growth in Greater China.

The quarter also absorbed a $68 million impairment on the sale of a hotel in the United States and a $27 million litigation accrual.

Set against a share price up more than 40% over the past year, the bar for a positive reaction was high.

Marriott International (MAR - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.19 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.06 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.65 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +4.25%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this hotel company would post earnings of $2.58 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.72, delivering a surprise of +5.43%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Marriott, which belongs to the Zacks Hotels and Motels industry, posted revenues of $7.07 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.6%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $6.74 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Marriott shares have added about 20.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.4%.

What's Next for Marriott?While Marriott has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Marriott was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.93 on $7.03 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $11.66 on $28.02 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Hotels and Motels is currently in the bottom 12% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, H World Group (HTHT - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.

This hotel operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.74 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +25.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.4% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

H World Group's revenues are expected to be $982.8 million, up 9.6% from the year-ago quarter.

CleanSpark Inks a $6.6B AI Lease to Become a Digital LandlordMarriott International NASDAQ: MAR reported second-quarter results that exceeded its prior expectations, driven by global revenue per available room growth, expanding fee revenue and continued portfolio growth. The company raised its full-year 2026 outlook for global RevPAR, gross fee revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Capuano said global RevPAR increased 3.4% in the second quarter, while the company added net rooms at a 4.5% rate over the 12 months ended June 30. Marriott’s global system surpassed 1.8 million rooms across more than 10,000 properties.

Marriott vs. Viking: Why the Better Quarter Doesn't Mean the Better Decade“We reported a very strong second quarter this morning, with RevPAR and financial results above our prior expectations,” Capuano said.

Regional demand varied, with U.S. strength offsetting Middle East pressure RevPAR in the U.S. and Canada rose 5%, the company’s strongest quarterly increase in 13 quarters. Capuano said both World Cup and non-World Cup markets contributed to the gain; excluding the World Cup, regional RevPAR increased 4%.

Iran Ceasefire or Not, These 3 Companies Could WinLuxury and resort properties remained the strongest categories in the U.S. and Canada, where luxury RevPAR rose more than 9%. Select-service RevPAR increased more than 4%, which Capuano said reflected broad-based strength across chain scales.

Global leisure RevPAR rose 5% in the quarter, including a 7% increase in the U.S. and Canada. Group RevPAR increased 3% globally and 4% in the U.S. and Canada, while business-transient RevPAR rose 2% globally and 3% in the U.S. and Canada. Non-government business-transient RevPAR in the U.S. and Canada benefited from mid-single-digit average daily rate growth, though room nights declined slightly.

International performance was constrained by the conflict in the Middle East. EMEA RevPAR declined just over 5%, as more than 4% RevPAR growth in Europe was offset by a 43% decline in the Middle East. Europe benefited from leisure demand in Mediterranean markets including Italy, Spain and Greece.

APAC RevPAR increased more than 5%, recovering from travel disruptions that affected certain markets in April. Greater China RevPAR rose more than 3%, led by inbound leisure demand, particularly in luxury properties and in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Hainan. RevPAR in the Caribbean and Latin America region increased 3%, supported by luxury and leisure demand in the Caribbean.

Guidance raised as World Cup contribution exceeds expectations Chief Financial Officer Jen Mason said Marriott raised its full-year global RevPAR outlook to growth of 3% to 3.5%. Third-quarter global RevPAR is expected to rise 3.5% to 4%.

The World Cup’s benefit to full-year global RevPAR is now expected to be about 45 basis points, above Marriott’s prior expectation of 30 to 35 basis points. Mason said the U.S. and Canada should continue to see strong demand across customer segments and chain scales in the third quarter, though November midterm elections could create a modest fourth-quarter headwind.

The company expects Greater China full-year RevPAR growth of 2% to 3%. APAC is expected to maintain strength through the second half, while Caribbean leisure demand is expected to offset weakness in Mexico. Marriott expects EMEA to remain affected by Middle East conditions, although less severely than previously anticipated.

Marriott now expects the Middle East to reduce full-year global RevPAR by about 100 basis points, an improvement from its prior estimate of a 100- to 125-basis-point impact. Mason noted that the region’s fourth quarter is particularly important because it represents roughly 35% of Middle East full-year revenue and faces difficult comparisons with 2025, when large events supported average daily rates.

Full-year gross fee revenue is projected at $6.03 billion to $6.06 billion, up about 11%. Incentive management fees are expected to grow 3% to 5% for the year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase 11% to 12%, to $5.97 billion to $6.03 billion. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected to increase 16% to 18% for the full year. Marriott expects to return more than $4.5 billion to shareholders in 2026. Fees and earnings increase in second quarter Second-quarter total gross fee revenue increased 13% year over year to $1.58 billion, supported by higher RevPAR, room growth, co-branded credit card fees and residential branding fees. Incentive management fees rose 6% to $212 million, as gains in the U.S. and Canada more than offset a decline in EMEA.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $1.59 billion, while adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 20% to $3.19. General and administrative expense increased 5%, primarily due to the timing of compensation costs.

Owned, leased and other revenue, net of related expenses, totaled $49 million, down from $78 million a year earlier. Mason cited a $27 million property-related litigation accrual and lower termination fees.

Marriott also announced new long-term U.S. co-branded credit card agreements with JPMorgan Chase and American Express. Mason said the partial-year impact from the new terms is expected to add approximately $30 million to 2026 co-branded credit card fees. Capuano said the annual impact on Marriott’s co-brand card fees could reach $100 million to $125 million by full-year 2028, based on the current 26% royalty rate, as refreshed products are introduced.

Development pipeline reaches record level Marriott recorded its highest first-half signing volume on record, according to Capuano. Its development pipeline grew nearly 7% from a year earlier to approximately 629,000 rooms at the end of June, including more than 279,000 rooms under construction, inclusive of pending conversions.

Conversions represented 34% of signings and 40% of openings during the first half. Marriott also announced an agreement to introduce its Series by Marriott collection brand in Greater China, with plans for approximately 100 hotels and first openings anticipated later this year.

The company expects full-year net rooms growth toward the low end of its previous 4.5% to 5% range, principally because of construction delays in the Middle East. Capuano said Marriott continues to expect mid-single-digit net rooms growth over the next several years, citing a 5.2% compound annual growth rate since the end of 2023.

Marriott increased its 2026 investment spending forecast to $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion. Contract acquisition costs are expected to account for roughly 40% to 45% of spending, while about 25% is expected to go toward digital and technology transformation and corporate systems.

Owner initiatives and technology rollout Capuano said Marriott has reduced global loyalty charge-out rates by roughly 5%, enhanced reimbursement for Bonvoy redemption stays on high-demand nights, streamlined brand standards and introduced flexible renovation scopes. The company is also launching an Intent to Recommend incentive program in the U.S. and Canada.

The program offers eligible hotels up to 50 basis points of gross room revenue in fee reimbursement for meeting defined guest-satisfaction thresholds. Mason said the incentive will begin affecting results during the second half of 2026 and will be recorded in Marriott’s owned, leased and other expenses rather than paid from system funds.

Marriott also began a phased rollout in June of Ask Bonvoy, an artificial intelligence-powered conversational search feature on Marriott.com and the Marriott Bonvoy app. Capuano said the company is deploying technology and AI to improve revenue generation, guest experiences and associate workflows.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International, Inc. (Nasdaq: MAR) today reported second quarter 2026 results.

Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We delivered another quarter of excellent results, reflecting strong travel demand, the power of our brands, and sustained development momentum. Global RevPAR increased 3.4 percent in the second quarter, with continued ADR strength. In the U.S. & Canada, RevPAR rose 5 percent, driven by broad-based increases across chain scales and customer segments.

"International RevPAR declined 0.5 percent in the quarter, as headwinds from the conflict in the Middle East more than offset solid RevPAR growth across our other international regions. In EMEA, RevPAR declined over 5 percent, with an increase in Europe outweighed by a 43 percent decline in the Middle East. APEC RevPAR increased over 5 percent, supported by solid leisure demand and robust intra-regional travel, while Greater China RevPAR increased over 3 percent, driven by strong performance across our luxury portfolio and key markets like Hong Kong, Taiwan and Hainan. With the outperformance in the second quarter and strong broad-based demand generally expected to continue, we are raising our full year expectation to 3 to 3.5 percent global RevPAR growth.

"Development activity remained strong, with record global signings in the first six months of the year. Our industry-leading global pipeline grew to approximately 629,000 rooms at quarter-end, up nearly 7 percent from the year-ago quarter. Conversions remained an important driver of growth, representing over a third of signings and 40 percent of openings in the first half of the year.

"The Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, which grew to more than 295 million members at quarter-end, continues to drive demand, deepen member engagement and create value across our global portfolio. We recently executed new long-term agreements for our co-branded credit card program in the U.S. with JPMorgan Chase and American Express. These agreements further strengthen Marriott Bonvoy and deliver incremental value to our hotel owners, our cardholders and loyalty program members, and our shareholders.

"With our global scale, powerful portfolio of brands, industry-leading Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, and dedicated associates, we are well positioned to meet the evolving needs of travelers seeking exceptional stays and memorable experiences. Supported by our robust pipeline and disciplined execution, we remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable, long-term growth."

Second Quarter 2026 Results
Franchise and base management fees totaled $1,366 million in the 2026 second quarter, a 14 percent increase compared to franchise and base management fees of $1,200 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher co-branded credit card fees, rooms growth and higher RevPAR.

Incentive management fees totaled $212 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $200 million in the 2025 second quarter, driven by strong year-over-year growth in the U.S. & Canada, partially offset by declines in EMEA. Managed hotels in international markets contributed over half of the incentive fees earned in the quarter.

Owned, leased, and other revenue, net of owned, leased, and other expense2, totaled $49 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $78 million in the 2025 second quarter. The decline primarily reflected a $27 million property-related litigation accrual ($20 million after-tax impact and $0.08 per share after-tax) as well as lower termination fees.

Depreciation, amortization, and other expenses totaled $115 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $53 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by a $68 million impairment charge recorded in connection with our sale of a U.S. & Canada hotel, which is excluded from our Adjusted results.

General and administrative expenses2 for the 2026 second quarter totaled $220 million, compared to $210 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting higher compensation costs, driven in part by timing.

Interest expense, net, totaled $201 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to $191 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense associated with higher debt balances, partially offset by higher interest income.

In the 2026 second quarter, the provision for income taxes totaled $278 million, compared to $291 million in the 2025 second quarter.

Marriott's reported operating income totaled $1,229 million in the 2026 second quarter, compared to 2025 second quarter reported operating income of $1,236 million. Reported net income totaled $766 million in the 2026 second quarter, flat compared to 2025 second quarter reported net income of $763 million. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) totaled $2.90 in the quarter, compared to reported diluted EPS of $2.78 in the year-ago quarter.

Adjusted operating income in the 2026 second quarter totaled $1,329 million, compared to 2025 second quarter Adjusted operating income of $1,186 million. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted net income totaled $844 million, compared to 2025 second quarter Adjusted net income of $728 million. Adjusted diluted EPS in the 2026 second quarter totaled $3.19, compared to Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.65 in the year-ago quarter.

Second quarter 2026 Adjusted results excluded cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses, and certain impairment charges. See the press release schedules for the calculation of Adjusted results and the manner in which the Adjusted measures are determined in this press release.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $1,592 million in the 2026 second quarter, a 13 percent increase compared to second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $1,415 million. See the press release schedules for the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Income Statement Reclassification
In the 2025 fourth quarter, to enhance understanding of the company's general and administrative costs, we reclassified amounts attributable to other expenses previously reported under the "General, administrative, and other" caption to the "Owned, leased, and other expense" caption of our Income Statements. The expenses that were reclassified from "General, administrative, and other" are certain costs associated with our property-related fee revenues, such as guarantee expense, provision for credit losses, and certain brand-related or property-related expenses, as well as costs associated with certain third-party agreements. Please refer to the Expense Captions - As Reclassified section in the press release schedules for information about the affected expense captions, as reclassified, for each quarter and the full fiscal year of 2025.

Selected Performance Information
The company added roughly 17,900 net rooms during the quarter, including approximately 11,000 net rooms in international markets. At the end of the quarter, Marriott's global system totaled over 10,000 properties, with nearly 1,814,000 rooms.

At the end of the quarter, the company's worldwide development pipeline totaled 4,186 properties with approximately 629,000 rooms, including 253 properties with over 34,000 rooms approved for development but not yet subject to signed contracts. The quarter-end pipeline included 1,757 properties with over 279,000 rooms under construction, including hotels that are in the process of converting to our system. Over half of the rooms in the quarter-end pipeline were located in international markets.

In the 2026 second quarter, worldwide RevPAR increased 3.4 percent (a 3.9 percent increase using actual dollars) compared to the 2025 second quarter. RevPAR in the U.S. & Canada increased 5.0 percent (a 5.1 percent increase using actual dollars), and RevPAR in international markets declined 0.5 percent (a 1.0 percent increase using actual dollars) compared to the 2025 second quarter.

Balance Sheet & Common Stock
At the end of the quarter, Marriott's total debt was $16.9 billion and cash and equivalents totaled $0.5 billion, compared to $16.2 billion in debt and $0.4 billion of cash and equivalents at year-end 2025.

The company repurchased 3.0 million shares of common stock in the 2026 second quarter for $1.1 billion. Year-to-date through July 29, the company has repurchased 6.2 million shares for $2.2 billion.

Company Outlook
The company's updated outlook generally assumes the continuation of the current macroeconomic environment. The outlook includes the expected partial year incremental impact of the new terms of our recently executed agreements with JPMorgan Chase and American Express for our U.S. co-branded credit card program.

MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, on the related conference call, and in the infographic made available in connection with our press release, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures are labeled as "Adjusted" and/or identified with the symbol "†". We discuss the manner in which the non-GAAP measures reported in this press release, schedules, and infographic are determined and management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the press release schedules reconcile each to the most directly comparable GAAP measures (with respect to the forward-looking non-GAAP measures, to the extent available without unreasonable efforts). Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share, or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin. Adjusted operating income excludes cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, and restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses. When applicable, Adjusted operating income also excludes certain non-cash impairment charges as well as impairment charges and expenses/adjustments related to the Sonder Termination. Adjusted total revenues excludes cost reimbursement revenue as well as, when applicable, certain non-cash impairment charges and impairment charges related to the Sonder Termination. Adjusted operating income margin reflects Adjusted operating income divided by Adjusted total revenues. We believe that these are meaningful metrics because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and for the reasons further described below.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, and Adjusted effective tax rate reflect our net income, diluted earnings per share, and effective tax rate, respectively, excluding the impact of cost reimbursement revenue, reimbursed expenses, restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses, as well as, when applicable, certain non-cash impairment charges, gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees (if above a specified threshold), and impairment charges and expenses/adjustments related to the Sonder Termination. Additionally, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, and Adjusted effective tax rate exclude the income tax effect of the above items (calculated using an estimated tax rate applicable to each item) and income tax special items, which in 2025 primarily related to the release of tax reserves. We believe that these measures are meaningful indicators of our performance because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items and for the reasons further described below.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA reflects net income excluding the impact of the following items: cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges), provision for income taxes, restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges, and other expenses, and stock-based compensation expense for all periods presented. When applicable, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes gains and losses on asset dispositions made by us or by our joint venture investees (if above a specified threshold). In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes impairment charges and expenses/adjustments related to the Sonder Termination.

In our presentations of Adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating income margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted effective tax rate, and Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude restructuring and merger-related recoveries/charges as well as charges related to legal proceedings that are outside of the ordinary course of our business, both of which we record in the "Restructuring and merger-related (recoveries) charges, and other" caption of our Consolidated Statements of Income (our "Income Statements"). We also exclude 2025 fourth quarter impairment charges and expenses as well as subsequent adjustments related to the Sonder Termination, which we record in the "Contract investment amortization" and "Owned, leased, and other expense" captions of our Income Statements, as they are related to the cessation of operations of an entire brand, which is a nonrecurring event. In addition, we exclude non-cash impairment charges (if above a specified threshold) related to our franchise and management contracts (if the impairment is non-routine), leases, equity investments, and other capitalized assets, which we record in the "Contract investment amortization," "Depreciation, amortization, and other," and "Equity in (losses) earnings" captions of our Income Statements. These adjustments allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before the impact of these items. We exclude cost reimbursement revenue and reimbursed expenses, which relate to property-level and centralized programs and services that we operate for the benefit of our hotel owners and certain other counterparties, and for which we receive reimbursement under our agreements with hotel owners and certain other counterparties with no added mark-up. We do not operate these property-level and centralized programs and services to generate a profit over the long term, and accordingly, when we recover the costs that we incur for these programs and services from our hotel owners and certain other counterparties, we do not seek a mark-up. For property-level services, we recognize cost reimbursement revenue at the same time that we incur expenses, and property-level services have no net impact on our Income Statements in the reporting period. However, for centralized programs and services, we may be reimbursed before or after we incur expenses, causing timing differences between the costs we incur and the related reimbursement from hotel owners and certain other counterparties in our operating and net income. Over the long term, these programs and services are not designed to impact our economics, either positively or negatively. Because we do not retain any such profits or losses over time, we exclude the net impact when evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating results.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of our operating performance because it permits period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing operations before these items. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates comparison with results from other lodging companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provisions for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expense, which we report under "Depreciation, amortization, and other" as well as depreciation and amortization classified in "Contract investment amortization," "Reimbursed expenses," and "Equity in earnings" of our Income Statements, because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. Depreciation and amortization classified in "Reimbursed expenses" reflects depreciation and amortization of Marriott-owned assets, for which we receive cash from hotel owners and certain other counterparties to reimburse the company for its investments made for the benefit of the system. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We exclude stock-based compensation expense in all periods presented to address the considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use stock-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted.

RevPAR. In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures, we present Revenue per Available Room ("RevPAR") as a performance measure. We believe RevPAR, which we calculate by dividing property level room revenue by total rooms available for the period, is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues, and should not be viewed as necessarily correlating with our fee revenue. We also believe occupancy and average daily rate ("ADR"), which are components of calculating RevPAR, are meaningful indicators of our performance. Occupancy, which we calculate by dividing total rooms sold by total rooms available for the period, measures the utilization of a property's available capacity. ADR, which we calculate by dividing property level room revenue by total rooms sold, measures average room price and is useful in assessing pricing levels. Comparisons to prior periods are on a constant U.S. dollar basis, which we calculate by applying exchange rates for the current period to the prior comparable period. We believe constant dollar analysis provides valuable information regarding the performance of hotels in our system as it removes currency fluctuations from the presentation of such results.

We define our comparable properties as hotels in our system that were open and operating under one of our brands since the beginning of the last full calendar year (since January 1, 2025 for the current period) and have not, in either the current or previous year: (1) undergone significant room or public space renovations or expansions, (2) been converted between company-operated and franchised, or (3) sustained substantial property damage or business interruption. Our comparable properties also exclude MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, Design Hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, residences, timeshare, and all-inclusive properties.

We use the term "hotel owners" throughout these schedules to refer, collectively, to owners of hotels and other lodging offerings operating in our system pursuant to franchise agreements, management agreements, license agreements, or similar arrangements, and we use the term "hotels in our system" to refer to hotels and other lodging offerings operating in our system pursuant to such arrangements, as well as hotels that we own or lease. The terms "hotel owners" and "hotels in our system" exclude Homes & Villas by Marriott BonvoySM (which we also exclude from our property and room count), timeshare, residential, and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection®.

Key Takeaways Marriott's Q2 EPS is projected to rise 15.5% YoY to $3.06, while revenues are seen up 7.7% to $7.3B.MAR may benefit from stronger RevPAR, group demand and double-digit gross fee growth in Q2.Middle East disruption, softer Mexico demand and higher G&A expenses may pressure Marriott's Q2 results. Marriott International, Inc. (MAR - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 3, before the opening bell.

MAR’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on one occasion, the average surprise being 1.5%.

Trend in the Estimate Revision of MARThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $3.06, indicating growth of 15.5% from $2.65 reported in the year-ago quarter.

For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $7.3 billion. The metric suggests a rise of 7.7% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.

Let's look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.

Factors Likely to Shape Marriott’s Q2 ResultsMarriott’s second-quarter 2026 performance is likely to have benefited from resilient leisure demand, improving select-service trends, solid group business and continued growth in fee revenues. The company expects global RevPAR to increase between 1.5% and 2.5% in the quarter under review. Continued strength across the United States and Canada and incremental demand related to the FIFA World Cup are likely to have supported performance.

Group and business-transient demand are likely to have aided MAR’s second-quarter performance. Group booking pace for full-year 2026 was running approximately 5% ahead of the prior year, providing a healthy base of business entering the seccond quarter. Business-transient trends, excluding government travel, also remained solid. Continued strength across leisure, group and select-service categories is likely to have supported RevPAR growth in the United States and Canada. Our model predicts second-quarter RevPAR in the United States and Canada to increase 2.1% year over year.

The company’s fee-driven business model is expected to have supported earnings in the quarter under review. Marriott expects second-quarter gross fees to increase between 10% and 11%, supported by RevPAR growth and higher contributions from co-branded credit cards and residential branding. Credit-card fees are expected to increase meaningfully, while residential branding fees are anticipated to more than double year over year. Our model predicts second-quarter gross fee revenues to rise 10.8% year over year to $1.6 billion.

However, second-quarter performance is likely to have been tempered by geopolitical disruption in the Middle East and softer demand in certain international markets. Marriott expects Middle East RevPAR to decline approximately 50% in the quarter, while reduced connectivity through Gulf hubs may have pressured long-haul demand in select Asia-Pacific markets, including India and the Maldives.

Softer trends at Mexican luxury resorts, renovation-related disruption at certain owned and leased hotels and higher compensation expenses may also have weighed on results. Marriott expects second-quarter incentive management fees to decline in the mid-single-digit range and G&A expenses to increase in the mid- to high-single-digit range. Our model predicts incentive management fees to decline 3.8% year over year to $192.4 million. We expect G&A expenses to increase 9.2% year over year to $229.2 million in the quarter to be reported.

What Our Model Says About MAR StockOur proven model predicts an earnings beat for Marriott this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is exactly the case here.

Other Stocks Poised to Beat on EarningsLife Time Group is expected to register a 21.6% increase in earnings for the to-be-reported quarter. LTH reported better-than-expected earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 10.9%.

Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (VAC - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +5.26% and a Zacks Rank of 3.

Marriott Vacations earnings for the to-be-reported quarter are expected to increase 1%. VAC reported better-than-expected earnings in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on one occasion, the average surprise being 0.7%.

Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (CNK - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +6.40% and a Zacks Rank of 3.

Cinemark’s earnings for the to-be-reported quarter are expected to increase 57.1%. CNK reported lower-than-expected earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, the average miss being negative 20.4%.
