Marriott tops Q3 as U.S. bookings jump, guidance lifted

Summary:
  • Adjusted EPS came in at $3.02, beating the $2.85 Bloomberg consensus.
  • Full-year adjusted EPS outlook raised to $12.07 to $12.14 from $11.64 to $11.81.
  • Global RevPAR increased 6.5%, with the U.S. and Canada up 7.4%.

Quarter highlights and guidance

Marriott said Monday that adjusted earnings per share hit $3.02, outpacing the average analyst estimate of $2.85. The company also boosted its full-year adjusted EPS projection to $12.07 to $12.14, up from a prior range of $11.64 to $11.81, while keeping its outlook for net unit growth unchanged.

Bookings accelerated across the company's U.S. hotels in the quarter, helping power the beat versus expectations.

Where demand moved

Revenue per available room - RevPAR, or sales per room available - increased 6.5% worldwide in the quarter, including a 7.4% gain in the U.S. and Canada. After coming in at $84.30 in the three months ended June, quarterly RevPAR at Marriott-operated properties in the Middle East and Africa rose to $91.43, indicating strengthening lodging demand in a region affected by war.

Markets and strategy

Marriott is vying with Hilton and Hyatt to roll out AI-powered tools aimed at pulling more guests to book directly and leaning less on online travel agencies such as Expedia and Booking Holdings. In early trading, the stock rose 2.7% premarket. Shares are up 29% this year through the Oct. 30 close, even as the S&P 500 Hotels Restaurants & Leisure Index has fallen.

Smart investors combine solid research with new tools to gain subtle advantages. We're hosting our first ever investor livestream on 11/17 to show you how to use ChatGPT and Claude to invest like a pro, hosted by Briefs Finance CEO Jaspreet Singh. Save your seat.

What this means for your portfolio

Earnings ahead of forecasts, higher guidance, and firm RevPAR trends supported the early stock move. The AI push to shift more volume away from third-party agencies could also help margins over time, if it scales.

Learning practical techniques can help investors make more confident, creative decisions. On 11/17, our CEO Jaspreet Singh goes live for our first ever investor livestream on how to use ChatGPT and Claude to invest like a pro. Register to join him.
