Executive summary

Marriott International is a hotel company that franchises, manages and licenses hotels and resorts rather than owning most of them. Its brands include Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, JW Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, Courtyard and Residence Inn, and its Marriott Bonvoy programme is a loyalty scheme for guests. Hotel owners and franchisees operate properties under these names across the world, while travellers and corporate clients book stays.

Marriott earns revenue mainly from franchise and management fees paid by hotel owners, plus fees tied to co-branded credit cards. Over the last twelve months it was $26.9 billion, growing at 8.0% a year across the last three years. The operating margin is 15.8%, and the business earns a profit of 27% on the capital invested in it. It carries net debt of 3.9 times EBITDA. The company pays a dividend with a yield of 0.7%.

StocksXray gives Marriott International Inc an X-Ray Score of 44 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 26% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is growth (59) and its weakest is valuation (20).

Our fair value blend is $309.19 (range $278.85 to $345.50). At $388.05 the stock trades 26% above that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
