Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Hold Opinion On Shares Of Marriott International Inc

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $13 to $383, based on a 20x 2026 EV/EBITDA multiple (up from 19x), a premium to its 17x three-year average forward multiple. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate to $11.83 from $11.55 and 2027's to $12.98 from $12.69. In Q1 results, domestic RevPAR growth of 4% was driven by ADR and occupancy. Encouragingly, the performance broadened out from luxury segments, which had been the primary drivers of domestic RevPAR growth in 2025. Despite Middle East disruptions, MAR raised its 2026 RevPAR outlook to a range of 2%-3% (from 1.5%-2.5%), highlighting the World Cup event and market share gains in China. However, we maintain our Hold opinion. At current levels, shares trade at 12% premium to their three-year average, suggesting RevPAR momentum is already priced in. The World Cup tailwind, while supportive for 2026, creates a tougher comparison for 2027 RevPAR growth. We view guidance as appropriately conservative on potential macro disruptions but see limited upside to our revised estimates.

Research Alert: Marriott International: Q1 Beats Estimates; Revpar And Ebitda Outlook Raised

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Marriott's Q1 results beat expectations with adjusted EPS of $2.72 (+17% Y/Y) vs. the $2.55 consensus, while worldwide RevPAR grew 4.2% Y/Y, exceeding the high end of guidance. Domestic strength across customer segments and chain scales countered investor concerns about softening leisure trends, with U.S. & Canada RevPAR up 4.0% and international RevPAR up 4.6% despite Middle East disruption. The asset-light model demonstrated operating leverage as net fee revenues accelerated to 12% Y/Y growth ($1.40B), owing to franchise fees (+17%) and co-branded credit card fees. Management raised full-year RevPAR guidance to 2.0%-3.0% (from 1.5%-2.5%) and adjusted EBITDA to $5.88B-$5.97B. Development momentum remained strong with a record 618K room pipeline (+5% Y/Y) and 4.5% net rooms growth, supporting the franchise-heavy growth model. However, ongoing U.S. co-branded card renegotiations represent a key swing factor for 2H estimates, given their meaningful contribution from these cards to franchise fee outperformance.
