Key Ratios (approximate)
- P/E (forward): ~37x | EV/EBITDA: ~18x | FCF Yield: ~2%
- Net Unit Growth (FY2024): +6.8% (~123,000 gross rooms added) | RevPAR Growth: +3–4% (FY2024)
Growth Profile
Marriott compounds through net unit growth (~5–7%/year permanently expanding the royalty base) and RevPAR growth (pricing + occupancy) flowing directly to fee income. FY2025 revenue reached $26.2B (+4.3% YoY) with a record 610,000-room pipeline. Co-branded credit card fees — renegotiated in 2025 with a projected 35% fee increase — represent a growing high-margin income stream. The Bonvoy platform at 271M members is deepening direct booking penetration (75% of US/Canada room nights), steadily reducing OTA commission costs.
Forward Estimates
- FY2026: Net unit growth guided 4.5–5%; RevPAR growth tempered by US government travel softness and Greater China flat; adj. EPS estimated ~$10–11 range at consensus
- Co-branded credit card: Renegotiated royalty rate projected to contribute ~$100–200M incremental high-margin annual fee revenue from FY2026
- Long-term: 610,000-room pipeline, if added over ~5 years, would expand the royalty base by ~35% — compounding fee revenue without capital deployment
