Marriott International, Inc. dividend currently yields 0.83%, backed by a global hospitality portfolio spanning nearly 8,000 properties across 139 countries under brands like JW Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, and Sheraton. MAR pays dividends quarterly, with a trailing annual rate of $2.80 per share and the next ex-dividend date set for August 20, 2026. Growth-oriented income investors are the natural fit here: the 13.1% annualized dividend growth rate over 18 years is the headline number, not the yield. With a beta of 1.104, MAR stock carries slightly above-average market sensitivity, which matters for investors who expect smooth income through volatile periods.
Marriott International, Inc. pays out 28.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings soften, which matters for a company whose revenue is tied to global travel demand across a franchise and management model spanning 30 hotel brands. Marriott International, Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from the cyclical nature of travel lodging: the 2020 data shows the dividend was cut sharply when hospitality demand collapsed, confirming this is not a recession-proof payer. Beta above 1.0 reinforces that MAR stock moves with the broader market, and earnings can swing hard in downturns.
Marriott International, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 13.1% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.2875 to $2.64 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 86.7% in 2011, reflecting a sharp rebound from a low base. The data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the growth line is not uninterrupted.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +38.2% | $1.00 (2022) | $2.64 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.4% | $1.85 (2019) | $2.64 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +13.1% | $0.77 (2014) | $2.64 (2025) |
MAR stock fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield, particularly those comfortable with the cyclical swings that come with global travel lodging. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at 0.83% today versus a 5-year average of 0.6%, so current income is modest by any measure. What the stock offers instead is a 13.1% annualized dividend growth rate over 18 years, which compounds meaningfully for patient holders. The trade-off is clear: income today is thin, and the 2020 dividend cut shows the payout is not immune to severe demand shocks. Four consecutive years of increases since then reflect recovery, not an unbroken streak.
