Marriott International is evaluated as a potential investment, given its status as the world's largest hotel chain. MAR receives a hold rating based on financial performance, efficiency, and sustainability, but with concerns about earnings growth. The analysis uses a quantitative model, assigning MAR a score of 68/100, just below the threshold for an attractive rating.
Like many cyclical firms, hotelier Marriott International has clocked in a relatively muted return since my last update in November, lagging the wider market by a wide margin. Marriott has seen economic uncertainty lead to softer growth in domestic revenue per available room. While this has caused management to slightly lower full-year guidance, system growth and international RevPAR remain more robust.
The slowdown is mostly hitting its lower-cost hotels that include Marriott Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites, which were also hard hit by a 17% decline in bookings from government workers, the company said.
MAR's second-quarter results reflect strong travel demand and expansion momentum despite macro uncertainty.
