Marriott International 'A'

Marriott reports continued robust demand with global RevPAR growth of 3.4% in Q2 and 7% in July, driven by gains across all brands and regions. Due to project delays in the Middle East, the company expects net hotel unit growth for 2026 at the lower end of the range. Management emphasizes measures to improve hotel profitability for owners, cost reductions and incentives, and extensive modernizations in reservations, property management and loyalty — including AI deployment to boost revenue and margins. » Mais em de.investing.com
