Marriott International shares climbed 6.09% to $423.60 on November 2, 2026. The primary driver was a strong third-quarter earnings report that exceeded expectations, prompting the company to raise its full-year 2026 revenue and earnings forecasts.

Marriott reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $7.01 billion, surpassing the estimated $6.92 billion. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $3.02, beating the consensus estimate of $2.84 and rising 22% year over year. The company raised its 2026 earnings forecast to a range of $12.07 to $12.14 per share. Management noted that RevPAR grew 6.5% during the quarter. The CFO stated that strong demand trends observed in the third quarter across chain scales and customer segments are expected to continue into the fourth quarter. While Europe is anticipated to remain strong, the company noted that continued strength in the region will be more than offset by declines in the Middle East. The trend line for newbuild construction starts was described as encouraging.
