Hilton's (HLT) Q3 Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates

Zacks Equity Research
Updated

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. HLT is a leading global hospitality company and operates under a number of leading brands. This hotel company began trading in Dec 2013 and has a significant presence in major hospitality markets across the world.

The company has an industry-leading guest loyalty program — Hilton Honors — which serves millions of members worldwide.

Hilton’s geographic exposure in the United States along with solid transient business is expected to continue driving RevPAR. Notably, the spin-offs in Jan 2017 have made Hilton a fee-based, capital efficient, and resilient business, which is likely to drive organic growth. However, lingering political uncertainties in some of the regions where the company operates and negative currency translation remains a concern.

Investors should note that the consensus estimate for HLT has hardly witnessed any significant movement over the last 60 days. Meanwhile, HLT’s earnings have been mostly strong over the past few quarters. The company outpaced/met the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the past four quarters, with an average beat of 16.18%. Revenues also posted positive surprises in three of the trailing four quarters.
