Marriott International Reports Strong Q3 2026 Results with Raised Full-Year Guidance
Marriott International (MAR) delivered robust third-quarter 2026 financial results, characterized by a 22% year-over-year increase in adjusted diluted EPS to $3.02 and a 12% rise in adjusted EBITDA to $1.51 billion. Growth was primarily driven by a 6.5% increase in global Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), supported by higher average daily rates and strong occupancy levels across several key regions. Reflecting this momentum, management raised its full-year RevPAR growth outlook to a range of 4.5% to 5%. The company also reported significant capital returns, including $1.3 billion in share repurchases during the quarter, with total planned shareholder returns for the year expected to reach at least $4.8 billion. While performance was strong globally, regional variations were noted, such as flat RevPAR in Greater China and a decline in the Middle East due to regional tensions.
