Marriott International (ISIN US5719032022) was trading at EUR 334.28 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 11:13 a.m. CEST. The latest analyst revision came from Erste Group, which lifted its 2026 earnings per share forecast from USD 11.73 to USD 11.75 in a report dated October 8, 2026, according to The Cerbat Gem.

Forecast edges above consensus

Erste Group kept a Buy rating and moved its full-year forecast above the USD 11.69 consensus cited in the report. The change is small, but it places the estimate closer to the upper end of Marriott's adjusted 2026 earnings guidance of USD 11.64 to USD 11.81.

The backdrop is fee growth rather than hotel ownership. Marriott's second-quarter revenue reached USD 7.07 billion, while net income was USD 766.0 million, according to the company's reported figures summarized by StockTitan. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were USD 3.19 and adjusted EBITDA reached USD 1.592 billion in the second quarter of 2026.

Three developments shape the story

On September 23, 2026, Marriott increased commitments under its revolving credit agreement from USD 4.50 billion to USD 5.00 billion, extending maturity to September 23, 2031, as reported by StockTitan. On October 8, 2026, Erste Group raised its earnings estimate from USD 11.73 to USD 11.75, according to The Cerbat Gem. On October 9, 2026, Marriott announced its third-quarter reporting date.

What comes next for earnings?

Marriott will publish third-quarter 2026 results on November 2, 2026, at approximately 7:00 a.m. ET and hold its earnings call at 8:00 a.m. ET, according to the company's investor-relations release carried by Marriott International. The Q3 guidance cited by MarketBeat is adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.74 to USD 2.82, giving investors a concrete benchmark for the next report.

Stock valuation remains elevated

Marriott's market capitalization was USD 97.0 billion on October 14, 2026, while its primary-market 52-week range was USD 256.76 to USD 410.98. The stock's latest euro quotation remains below that upper level in the U.S. market context, while the revised USD 11.75 estimate sits above the USD 11.69 consensus.
