Marcus & Millichap NYSE: MMI reported an 18% year-over-year increase in first-quarter 2026 revenue, as management said improving commercial real estate transaction activity, a recovery in its private client business and growth in financing helped the company start the year with stronger momentum.
Marcus Corporation (MCS) delivered a strong Q1 double-beat, with revenue of $154.4M and EPS of -$0.51, outperforming expectations despite seasonality and fewer working days. MCS Theatres division outpaced national box office growth, with Q1 adjusted EBITDA margin rising to 8.6–14%, driven by higher ticket prices and strong family movie attendance. Hotels division saw RevPAR growth from occupancy gains but suffered EBITDA margin compression due to weaker F&B and ancillary revenues, raising concerns about pricing power.
