Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Marriott International (MAR - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 7.9% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Marriott due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Marriott Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates, Increase Y/Y
Marriott reported solid third-quarter 2021 results, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate as well as increasing on a year-over-year basis.
During the quarter, the company witnessed solid demand in Europe owing to the opening of key international borders. It reported sequential improvements in revenue per available room (RevPAR), occupancy and average daily rate (ADR) on account of solid leisure demand. Although the Delta variant had negatively impacted business transient demand (during the second half of the quarter), demand is stated to have picked up in October. With global trends improving, the company expects the recovery momentum to continue in the upcoming periods as well.
Earnings & Revenues Discussion
In the quarter under review, Marriott’s adjusted earnings per share were 99 cents, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported adjusted earnings of 13 cents per share.

RevPAR & Margins
In the quarter under review, RevPAR for worldwide comparable system-wide properties fell 25.8% (in constant dollars) compared with 2019 levels.

Total expenses during the quarter increased 69.9% year over year to $3,401 million, primarily owing to a rise in Reimbursed expenses.
During the third quarter, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to $683 million compared with $327 million in the prior-year quarter.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
