Marriott International, Inc.

Marriott International, Inc.

Marriott International, Inc. (MAR) is a global hospitality company operating, franchising and licensing a broad portfolio of hotel brands across price points and markets. With a market capitalisation of about $72.9bn, Marriott earns fees and franchise revenues from its managed and franchised properties, complemented by earnings from owned and leased hotels and timeshare operations. Key strengths include its large global footprint and the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programme, which supports repeat business and pricing power. Investors should note the company’s exposure to travel cycles, economic conditions, currency movements and labour costs, which can make revenue and margins cyclical. Marriott’s relatively asset‑light strategy improves cash generation but depends on franchise growth and brand health.
