洞察:
Marriott International, Inc. announced on Tuesday that it expects a 35% increase in fees collected from its co-branded credit card programs, a projection that has led the company to raise its full-year gross fee revenue guidance. This updated outlook represents an increase over the previously reported $5.44 billion in gross fee revenue. The announcement, made on February 10, 2026, coincided with the release of quarterly results that helped drive the company’s share price to a record high.
Management, led by Anthony Capuano, stated that the anticipated 35% jump in fees is closely linked to strong luxury travel demand. Market data provided by LSEG and analysis from firms such as Jefferies highlighted the positive market reaction to the news as the stock reached its new peak. These co-branded credit card programs, which include those associated with the Ritz-Carlton brand, are considered a material component of the company's gross fee revenue and are expected to significantly impact its future revenue outlook.
