Marriott Reports Q3 2026 Results; Adjusted EPS Rises to $3.02

What happened

Marriott reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $7.005 billion and net income of $794 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, or adjusted profit per share, rose to $3.02 from $2.47 a year earlier, while the company raised its full-year global RevPAR growth outlook to 4.5%–5.0%.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Higher revenue, adjusted profit per share and room revenue growth point to stronger business across Marriott’s hotel network. If that demand continues, it can support fee income and profit; the raised outlook also signals management expects room revenue growth to remain firm through the year.

Analyst inference

Worldwide systemwide RevPAR, a measure of room revenue per available room, rose 6.5%, while net rooms grew 4.6% year over year. The record development pipeline could expand future fee-generating room supply, though pipeline properties are not yet all operating hotels.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Track upcoming RevPAR results by region: the reported 7.4% U.S. and Canada growth exceeded the 4.4% international increase, so shifts could change the mix of revenue growth. Analyst inference
2. Watch whether Marriott delivers its raised full-year RevPAR growth outlook of 4.5%–5.0%; weaker room revenue growth could limit gains in fees and adjusted profit. Analyst inference
3. Monitor whether the record pipeline advances into opened hotels: 1,750 properties, with more than 278,000 rooms, were under construction, but completion timing was not stated. Confirmed
