Key Issues

Bullish view

Marriott raised its 2026 outlook because stronger U.S. demand and fee growth are supporting results, giving the company an operating cushion while Middle East conditions remain difficult.

Bearish view

Middle East weakness is affecting RevPAR, openings and execution, and the deterioration could spread beyond the region or overwhelm the improved U.S. demand assumptions.
