Marriott International, Inc. engages in operating, franchising, and licensing hotel, residential, timeshare, and other lodging properties worldwide. It operates its properties under the JW Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, The Luxury Collection, W Hotels, St. Regis, EDITION, Bvlgari, Marriott Hotels, Sheraton, Westin, Autograph Collection, Renaissance Hotels, Le Méridien, Delta Hotels by Marriott, Tribute Portfolio, Gaylord Hotels, Design Hotels, Marriott Executive Apartments, Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy, Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield by Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Four Points by Sheraton, TownePlace Suites by Marriott, Aloft Hotels, AC Hotels by Marriott, Moxy Hotels, Element Hotels, Protea Hotels by Marriott, and City Express by Marriott brand names, as well as operates residences, timeshares, and yachts. The company was founded in 1927 and is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland.

Marriott выглядит как качественный, но уже не дешёвый бизнес: операционная рентабельность и доходность активов остаются сильными, однако баланс и оценка заметно ограничивают апсайд. P/E 35.93, P/S 3.58 и P/FCF 37.37 существенно выше медианы отрасли, что говорит о премии в цене и снижает потенциал дальнейшего переоценивания. При этом динамика мультипликаторов в целом не даёт убедительного сигнала на удешевление: P/E и P/S по сравнению с более ранними периодами выросли, то есть рынок платит больше за тот же поток прибыли и выручки. Сильная сторона компании — высокая операционная эффективность: ROA 9.51 и ROI 23.09 выглядят очень достойно относительно отрасли, а операционная маржа 15.81 и чистая маржа 9.93 подтверждают устойчивую прибыльность. Выручка, прибыль и EBITDA остаются на высоком уровне, а чистая прибыль и операционная прибыль по последнему периоду выглядят стабильными, что поддерживает фундаментальную оценку. Однако gross margin ниже отраслевой медианы, а gross profit и EBITDA в последних точках ряда не демонстрируют явного ускорения, поэтому говорить о резком улучшении качества бизнеса не приходится. Главный риск — слабая ликвидность: current ratio 0.43 и quick ratio 0.00 указывают на очень ограниченный запас краткосрочной платёжеспособности. Дополнительно настораживает отрицательный собственный капитал и рост долгосрочного долга, что делает структуру баланса уязвимой даже при хорошей операционной прибыли. Дивидендная доходность 0.20% слишком мала, чтобы заметно поддерживать инвестиционный кейс через cash return. В итоге фундаментал скорее оправдывает удержание текущей оценки с лёгкой осторожной корректировкой вниз, чем заметный пересмотр вверх. Для инвестора это история про сильный бренд и высокую операционную эффективность, но с дорогой оценкой и балансом, который требует повышенной дисциплины.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

TQQQ, PLTR, SNPS, MAR: Large Outflows Detected at ETF

Stocks have rallied lately, but the economy is facing several challenges that are impacting its health and weighing on investors’ sentiment. Uncertainty over an end to the Iran conflict, sky-high inflation and the impact of tariffs are weakening the economy.
Given the uncertainty, cautious investors looking for steady income and ways to protect their capital may consider holding or investing in dividend-paying stocks.
Such stocks provide steady earnings through regular dividend payouts and can help mitigate the effects of market volatility. Four such stocks are: Penske Automotive Group, Inc. PAG, Packaging Corporation of America PKG, Marriott International, Inc. MAR and The Timken Company TKR. Each of these stocks currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Economic Uncertainty Continues
Stocks rallied on Thursday after a key meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping. The two world leaders discussed several issues, including ways to end the Iran war and allowing a smooth passage to vessels sailing through the Strait of Hormuz.
However, no concrete solution was found. A ceasefire has been in place for more than two weeks now, but neither the United States nor Iran has agreed to a second round of peace talks.
Energy costs have climbed rapidly since the Iran conflict began. Gasoline prices jumped 21.2% in March before increasing another 5.4% in April. Meanwhile, food prices rose 0.5% in April, with grocery prices advancing 0.7% during the month — the sharpest increase since August 2022.
Inflation rose for the second straight month in April. The consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.6% sequentially in April after rising 0.9% in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported earlier this week. On a yearly basis, CPI climbed 3.8% in April, marking its highest level since May 2023.
Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy costs, advanced 0.4% month over month and was up 2.8% compared with a year earlier. The rise in inflation during April was largely driven by a 3.8% surge in energy prices, which contributed nearly 40% of the overall increase.
Also, higher tariffs are hurting consumer spending. These uncertainties could keep markets volatile for a longer period.

Company News for May 7, 2026

In the latest look at the underlying components of the S&P 500 ordered by largest market capitalization, Marriott International, Inc. (Symbol: MAR) has taken over the #143 spot from Valero Energy Corp (Symbol: VLO), according to The Online Investor.
Market capitalization is an important data point for investors to keep an eye on, for various reasons. The most basic reason is that it gives a true comparison of the value attributed by the stock market to a given company's stock. Many beginning investors look at one stock trading at $10 and another trading at $20 and mistakenly think the latter company is worth twice as much — that of course is a completely meaningless comparison without knowing how many shares of each company exist. But comparing market capitalization (factoring in those share counts) creates a true "apples-to-apples" comparison of the value of two stocks. In the case of Marriott International, Inc. (Symbol: MAR), the market cap is now $93.94 billion, versus Valero Energy Corp (Symbol: VLO) at $75.77 billion.
Below is a chart of Marriott International, Inc. versus Valero Energy Corp plotting their respective size rank within the S&P 500 over time (MAR plotted in blue; VLO plotted in green):
Below is a three month price history chart comparing the stock performance of MAR vs. VLO:
Another reason market capitalization is important is where it places a company in terms of its size tier in relation to peers — much like the way a mid-size sedan is typically compared to other mid-size sedans (and not SUV's). This can have a direct impact on which mutual funds and ETFs are willing to own the stock. For instance, a mutual fund that is focused solely on Large Cap stocks may for example only be interested in those companies sized $10 billion or larger. Another illustrative example is the S&P MidCap index which essentially takes the S&P 500 index and "tosses out" the biggest 100 companies so as to focus solely on the 400 smaller "up-and-comers" (which in the right environment can outperform their larger rivals). So a company's market cap, especially in relation to other companies, carries great importance, and for this reason we at The Online Investor find value to putting together these rankings daily.
Examine the full MAR market cap history vs. the full VLO market cap history.
At the closing bell, MAR is up about 1.4%, while VLO is off about 6.9% on the day Wednesday.

Marriott (MAR) Q1 2026 Earnings Transcript

Marriott International (MAR) reported $6.65 billion in revenue for the quarter ended March 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 6.2%. EPS of $2.72 for the same period compares to $2.32 a year ago.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of +0.9% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.59 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $2.58, the EPS surprise was +5.62%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
Here is how Marriott performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Comparable Systemwide International Properties - Worldwide - REVPAR: 123 versus the three-analyst average estimate of 122.
Rooms - Total: 1,795,808 versus 1,789,530 estimated by three analysts on average.
Rooms - Franchised: 1,204,223 versus 1,187,515 estimated by three analysts on average.
Comparable Systemwide International Properties - Worldwide - REVPAR Growth Rate: 4.2% versus the three-analyst average estimate of 2.3%.
Revenues- Contract investment amortization: $-35 million versus the five-analyst average estimate of $-33.93 million. The reported number represents a year-over-year change of +25%.
Revenues- Gross fee revenues: $1.43 billion compared to the $1.38 billion average estimate based on five analysts. The reported number represents a change of +12.4% year over year.
