RevPAR is used to gauge an individual property's revenue per room, which is relative to that particular property. EPS will determine how successful Marriott is as a whole entity. The two are, of course, intrinsically tied, but neither is an accurate indicator of each other's performance. In other words, a property can have a poor RevPAR while Marriott's EPS can be exemplary, and vice versa. Now if the majority of properties have similar RevPAR results, that will certainly have a direct bearing on Marriott's EPS unless an unrelated event occurs to spook investors.
