Marriott International (US5719032022) starts the new week with the travel and leisure sector in focus and a listing in the Nasdaq 100 index. Analyst consensus data provide a snapshot of how the shares are currently rated and where price targets cluster, based on recent updates from major houses and aggregators.

What analysts currently say

On MarketScreener and similar consensus platforms, a majority of analysts covering Marriott International rate the stock at Buy or Outperform, with the remainder split between Hold and a small number of Underperform or Sell ratings, reflecting a generally constructive stance on the hotel operator. Average 12-month price targets on these platforms typically sit only modestly above the latest close, indicating cautious upside expectations rather than aggressive growth assumptions.

According to the data set aggregated by PandaForecast, which compiles analyst and quantitative inputs, the average prediction for Marriott International shares is around 380.83 US dollars, only a few dollars above the recent trading level of about 377.31 dollars as of the session on June 26, 2026. This narrow gap between current price and average target underlines that, in the eyes of many analysts, much of the near-term fundamental story is already reflected in the valuation.

Position in the travel and leisure sector

Marriott International operates in the global hotel and lodging segment, which is often compared with peers such as Hilton Worldwide and Hyatt Hotels when investors look at sector performance and valuation multiples. Within the Nasdaq 100, the shares sit in the consumer discretionary space, alongside travel-related names that can be sensitive to macroeconomic trends and changes in discretionary spending.

Sector commentary from international outlets like Reuters and Bloomberg has recently highlighted how travel and leisure companies benefit from robust demand in many regions, even as interest rates and inflation remain key variables for consumer budgets. In that context, Marriott International’s scale and brand portfolio are viewed by analysts as supporting relative resilience compared with smaller competitors.

How Marriott International earns its money

Marriott International generates revenue primarily through the management and franchising of hotel brands across different price segments, from luxury to midscale and extended stay. Flagship brands include Marriott Hotels, Sheraton, Westin and Courtyard, and the company also operates higher-end offerings such as The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis, often under long-term management contracts.

Where the shares trade today

Marriott International shares (US5719032022) trade on the Nasdaq exchange in the United States, with the most recent available closing price at around 377.31 US dollars as of June 26, 2026.
