Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Marriot’s fourth-quarter 2012 adjusted earnings and revenues were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago results. Its strong pipeline, significant international exposure, lower operating cost structure and frequent shareholder returns are positives for the stock. Additionally, Marriott is poised to benefit from low supply growth in North America given an increased demand scenario both in group and leisure business lines. Marriott’s latest deal to manage Gaylord also remains strategically sound. However, we remain cautious on the stock due to slower growth in some international markets and lingering concerns as well as tough comparison in Europe. Thus, we remain Neutral on the stock. “
