Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE:HLT) on Wednesday reported third quarter 2025 financial results that exceeded Wall Street expectations, while also raising its outlook, as the hotel chain expects a recovery in US travel demand.
Hilton generated revenue for the quarter of $3.12 billion, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $3.01 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
The company’s adjusted profit of $2.11 per share for the period also beat the Wall Street forecast of $2.06.
Furthermore, Hilton said it now expects 2025 adjusted profit per share of $7.97 to $8.06, higher than the $7.83 to $8 per share it anticipated previously.
"We remain optimistic, that in the US, lower interest rates, a more favorable regulatory environment, certainty on tax policy and a significant investment cycle will accelerate economic growth and travel demand, and, when paired with limited industry supply growth, should drive stronger RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) growth over the next several years," Hilton Worldwide CEO Christopher Nassetta said in a statement.
The company noted that RevPAR at its luxury properties, including the LXR and Conrad, recorded strong growth as wealthier travelers continued to spend.
Hilton shares rose more than 3% to $274.13 in early trading on Wednesday.
