Marriott International operates a global lodging platform spanning franchised, managed and owned or leased hotels, with additional timeshare and related businesses. It primarily makes money from fees charged to hotel owners for branding, reservations, loyalty, management and franchising, while owned or leased properties and other businesses contribute smaller portions of revenue. Its customers include hotel owners, franchisees, business travelers, leisure guests and members of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program. The company generated $26.2 billion of revenue and $2.6 billion of net income in fiscal 2025, up from $25.1 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, in 2024.
Marriott fell $38.32, or 9.99%, from $383.52 to $345.20 over the reported window, with nearly all of the damage concentrated on Monday, August 3, when the stock dropped 6.97% on volume of 4.42 million shares; it slipped another 0.47% Tuesday. The selloff followed second-quarter results that beat earnings expectations but missed on revenue, while Middle East weakness clouded RevPAR, openings and execution. Marriott did raise its 2026 outlook on stronger U.S. demand and fee growth, but that support was outweighed by concerns about regional demand and the premium valuation. The decline occurred despite a broader market rally as Middle East tensions eased, pointing to company-specific earnings reaction rather than general risk aversion.
