Marriott Raises Full-Year Outlook Following Strong Q1 Sales and Stable Demand

Key Facts

Marriott International has raised its full-year financial guidance following a robust first quarter, where adjusted EPS grew by 17%. Adding to the sector's positive momentum, Host Hotels & Resorts (HST) beat Q1 FFO estimates driven by higher room rates and subsequently raised its 2026 outlook following strong RevPAR growth. Marriott's earnings beat analyst estimates, fueled by higher fee income and a record development pipeline that now includes 618,000 rooms. Analysts expect continued growth into the second quarter as strong global demand effectively offsets the impacts of regional geopolitical conflicts. This update reflects ongoing optimism regarding the international tourism recovery and the industry's aggressive expansion strategy. Management remains focused on capitalizing on the sustained rebound in both leisure and business travel segments globally.
