Hilton Posts 2025 Profit Outlook Below Estimates Amid Weak US Leisure Travel
Hilton Worldwide (HLT) anticipates 2025 profits falling short of Wall Street projections due to sluggish leisure travel demand in the United States. While affluent Americans are leveraging the strong dollar to explore international destinations, low- to middle-income individuals face rising costs and are reducing non-essential expenditures, including vacations.
The McLean, Virginia-based company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $2.78 billion, aligning with analysts' expectations of $2.77 billion. Hilton projects adjusted profit per share between $7.71 and $7.82 for 2025, below the consensus estimate of $8.02.
