Marriott: The Loyalty Engine Is Outgrowing The Hotel Cycle
Marriott International is rated Buy, with a fair value estimate of $400, reflecting premium quality at a relative discount to Hilton. MAR's earnings growth is driven by robust fee revenue, Bonvoy membership expansion, co-branded credit card income, and aggressive share repurchases, despite modest RevPAR gains. Net room growth, conversions, and a large pipeline support sustained high-single-digit fee and EBITDA growth, with 2026–2027 EPS projected to rise 11–14% annually.
Can Marriott's Raised 2026 Outlook Overcome Middle East Weakness?
MAR raises its 2026 outlook on stronger U.S. demand and fee growth, but Middle East weakness still clouds RevPAR, openings and execution.
