MAR · Nasdaq · Consumer

Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

71

out of 100

Marriott International Inc grows profitably: it increases revenue at double digits (19.2% a year) without giving up profitability (net margin 9.7%). On fundamental quality it scores 71 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 3.65× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Marriott is the world's largest hotelier by brands and rooms —Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton, Westin and dozens more— yet owns almost no hotels: it manages and franchises, charging fees on owners' revenue. Little capital, lots of margin.

What will shape its future

  • The travel cycle (leisure and corporate), its underlying tide.
  • The asset-light model: growing rooms without laying bricks, the key to its returns.
  • Its loyalty program (Bonvoy), which locks in guests and owners at once.

The score combines growth, profitability and financial strength. Here its growth weighs in its favor, while its financial strength drags it down the most.
