The Bethesda-based hospitality giant reported net income of $766 million for the quarter, remaining flat compared to the same period in 2025. Diluted earnings per share reached $2.90, while adjusted results showed a stronger performance at $3.19 per share. The company’s global system now encompasses over 10,000 properties, with approximately 17,900 net rooms added during the three-month period ending June 30.
Marriott Reports Steady Growth Amid International Market Headwinds
Marriott International posted a solid second quarter for 2026, with worldwide revenue per available room rising 3.4 percent. While domestic demand in the U.S. and Canada drove a 5 percent increase, regional instability in the Middle East created international headwinds, keeping global growth in check despite record-breaking development pipeline signings.
CEO Anthony Capuano pointed to sustained travel demand and ADR strength as primary contributors to the positive results. However, the international picture was bifurcated: APEC and Greater China saw growth exceeding 3 percent, while the Middle East suffered a 43 percent decline in RevPAR. This volatility, coupled with a 5 percent drop in EMEA, dampened the overall international performance. Looking ahead, Marriott has raised its full-year expectations, anticipating global RevPAR growth between 3 and 3.5 percent. The company continues to prioritize shareholder returns, having repurchased 3 million shares for $1.1 billion during the quarter.
