Shares of Marriott have outperformed the industry in the past year. The company reported mixed first-quarter 2024 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues beating the same. The top and the bottom line increased on a year-over-year basis. The company has been benefiting from robust leisure demand and solid global booking trends. Also, substantial RevPAR growth in international markets added to the upside.

The emphasis on expansion initiatives, digital innovation and the loyalty program bodes well. Earnings estimates for 2024 have increased in the past 30 days.
