Bernstein analyst Richard Clarke upgraded Marriott International (MAR) to Outperform from Market Perform with a price target of $204, up from $178, following the Q1 report. Marriott’s RevPAR growth lead, higher quality earnings stream and potential net unit growth acceleration "point to a superior earnings story at an unwarranted discount to Hilton (HLT)," the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm flipped its rank order of hotels post Marriott’s Q1 EBITDA beat and boosted outlook.
