Published on 10/04/2026 at 11:16 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Marriott International (US5719032022) stock closed at USD 358.96 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, up 1.18 percent from the prior close. The central operating signal remains the second-quarter update, in which StockTitan reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 7.071 billion and diluted GAAP EPS of USD 2.90 on August 3, 2026.
RevPAR supports the outlook
Fortune reported that global Q2 2026 RevPAR increased 3.4 percent, while U.S. and Canada RevPAR rose 5 percent. Adjusted EBITDA increased 13 percent to USD 1.59 billion, and adjusted diluted EPS rose 20 percent to USD 3.19 for the quarter.
The same August 3, 2026 call showed the tradeoff inside the result: Middle East RevPAR declined 43 percent year over year, while Europe RevPAR rose more than 4 percent. Marriott raised full-year 2026 global RevPAR guidance to 3%-3.5% growth and expects adjusted EBITDA of USD 5.97 billion-USD 6.03 billion.
Analyst target stays above price
According to StockAnalysis, the consensus rating is Buy from 28 analysts, with an average price target of USD 380.80 and a range of USD 280.00 to USD 425.00. The average target lies 6.08 percent above the October 2 price of USD 358.96, a gap that leaves execution and regional demand as the key valuation tests.
Marriott's Q2 pipeline also grew 7 percent year over year to 629,000 rooms, according to Fortune. The company had more than 279,000 rooms under construction, but management guided net rooms growth toward the low end of its prior 4.5%-5% range because of Middle East construction delays.
