Marriott International gets 'Outperform' rating after strong Q2 with 13% revenue growth and raised forecasts.

Investment firm CICC has given Marriott International an 'Outperform' rating following the company's strong Q2 2026 financial results, including a 13% year-over-year increase in gross fee revenues and a 3.4% global rise in Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR). Marriott also raised its full-year 2026 forecast, expecting RevPAR growth between 3% and 3.5% and gross fee revenues around $6.03 to $6.06 billion. Despite challenges like a 43% RevPAR drop in the Middle East, Marriott's expanding development pipeline and new credit card agreements support confidence in future growth.
