Marriott International reported its second quarter 2026 results on Monday, failing to live up to Wall Street projections due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The hotel giant announced that global RevPAR (revenue per available room) increased 3.4 percent in the second quarter, paired with continued ADR (average daily rate) strength.
Despite RevPAR rising 5 percent in the U.S. and Canada, aided by this summer's 2026 FIFA World Cup, international RevPAR declined 0.5 percent in the quarter, as travel continues to be hampered by the U.S. war with Iran.
In EMEA, RevPAR declined over 5 percent, with an increase in Europe outweighed by a 43 percent decline in the Middle East, the company said.
Second quarter reported diluted EPS (earnings per share) totaled $2.90 and adjusted diluted EPS totaled $3.19, while second quarter reported net income totaled $766 million and adjusted net income totaled $844 million.
What's more, Marriott added roughly 17,900 net rooms globally in Q2 and net rooms grew 4.5 percent from the end of the second quarter of 2025.
"We delivered another quarter of excellent results, reflecting strong travel demand, the power of our brands, and sustained development momentum," President and CEO Anthony Capuano said in a statement.
Marriott also said its Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program grew to more than 295 million members at quarter-end and continues to drive demand.
"We recently executed new long-term agreements for our co-branded credit card program in the U.S. with JPMorgan Chase and American Express," added Capuano. "These agreements further strengthen Marriott Bonvoy and deliver incremental value to our hotel owners, our cardholders and loyalty program members, and our shareholders."
"With our global scale, powerful portfolio of brands, industry-leading Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, and dedicated associates, we are well positioned to meet the evolving needs of travelers seeking exceptional stays and memorable experiences. Supported by our robust pipeline and disciplined execution, we remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable, long-term growth," concluded Capuano.
Marriott ended the quarter with a record worldwide development pipeline totaling nearly 4,200 properties and approximately 629,000 rooms.
