Marriott raises 2026 RevPAR outlook as Q2 adjusted EPS rises 20% to $3.19
Marriott reported second quarter 2026 results with revenue of $7.07 billion, up 5 percent, and reported diluted EPS of $2.90 versus $2.78 a year earlier. The company raised its full-year 2026 worldwide RevPAR growth expectation to 3 to 3.5 percent, while international RevPAR declined 0.5 percent in the quarter, which matters to shareholders because it signals stronger expected fee growth alongside regional weakness.
Key points
- Adjusted diluted EPS was $3.19 versus $2.65 in the year-ago quarter; reported diluted EPS was $2.90 versus $2.78.
- Reported net income was $766 million, flat versus $763 million, after a $68 million impairment tied to the sale of a U.S. & Canada hotel, which is excluded from adjusted results.
