Did MAR Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results

Marriott International delivered a mixed but fundamentally solid second quarter, beating earnings expectations while falling modestly short on revenue. Adjusted diluted EPS of $3.19 cleared the $3.08 consensus estimate by 3.63%, growing 20% year-over-year, even as revenue of $7.07 billion came in 1.69% below forecasts despite a 4.8% gain from a year ago. The earnings strength was powered by a 13% surge in gross fee revenues to $1.58 billion, buoyed by higher co-branded credit card fees and steady rooms growth, while worldwide RevPAR expanded 3.4% in constant dollars on the back of a robust 5.0% gain in the U.S. and Canada. That domestic momentum helped offset a sharp drag from the Middle East, where ongoing conflict weighed heavily on international results. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 13% to $1.59 billion. Looking ahead, Marriott raised its full-year 2026 RevPAR growth outlook to 3.0%-3.5% and guided full-year adjusted EPS to $11.64-$11.81, a constructive signal consistent with broader lodging sector confidence evidenced by peers also upgrading their 2026 outlooks.

Key Takeaways
  • Worldwide RevPAR increased 3.4% driven by ADR strength
  • U.S. & Canada RevPAR rose 5.0% with broad-based increases across chain scales and customer segments
  • Higher co-branded credit card fees drove franchise fee growth
  • Net rooms growth of 4.5% year-over-year
  • Conversions represented over a third of signings and 40% of openings in H1 2026
  • Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program grew to more than 295 million members
  • APEC RevPAR increased over 5% supported by solid leisure demand and robust intra-regional travel
  • Greater China RevPAR increased over 3% driven by luxury portfolio strength

“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.”
