Hilton Forecasts 2026 Revenue Growth Below Estimates as Budget Travel Slows
Hilton expects lower revenue growth in 2026 as budget travelers cut spending despite strong luxury demand. The hotel group beat fourth quarter profit estimates.
Insights:
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. announced on February 11, 2026, that it expects its 2026 room revenue to grow by 1% to 2%, a forecast that falls short of Wall Street expectations. This guidance, issued alongside the company's fourth-quarter earnings report, comes despite a beat on both profit and revenue for the final quarter of the previous year. Analysts polled by LSEG had anticipated growth of approximately 2.05%, and the lower-than-expected outlook has reshaped the company’s revenue-growth trajectory, triggering immediate market reactions.
