Marriott International reported stronger third-quarter results on Monday, November 2, and raised its full-year operating outlook. The company said global comparable RevPAR increased 6.5 percent year over year, while adjusted diluted earnings per share reached 3.02 US dollars.

Demand supports higher guidance

According to Marriott International, RevPAR rose 7.4 percent in the United States and Canada and 4.4 percent in international markets. Higher average daily rates and occupancy supported the quarterly performance.

Adjusted operating income increased to 1.267 billion US dollars from 1.119 billion US dollars a year earlier. Adjusted net income reached 790 million US dollars, compared with 674 million US dollars in the prior-year quarter.

Marriott now expects worldwide RevPAR to grow 4.5 percent to 5 percent in 2026. The revised range is above the previous forecast of 3 percent to 3.5 percent and gives investors a higher benchmark for fourth-quarter demand and fee generation.

Fee growth remains central

The asset-light model remains central to the investment case because franchise and management fees can expand without proportional hotel ownership. The third-quarter figures also showed broad-based demand across customer segments and chain scales in the United States and Canada.
