Ari Klein has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Hilton Worldwide Holdings. Despite the company reporting better-than-expected earnings in terms of EBITDA and EPS for the third quarter, the revenue per available room (RevPAR) has been underwhelming, falling short of expectations in four of the last five quarters. This indicates persistent challenges in the lodging industry that could impact future performance.
Moreover, while Hilton has managed to improve its profitability through better operations and lower general and administrative expenses, the overall industry backdrop remains tough. The company’s guidance for the fourth quarter aligns with expectations, but the modest growth in RevPAR suggests limited upside potential. These elements combined have led Ari Klein to maintain a cautious stance with a Hold rating on the stock.
In another report released today, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $291.00 price target.
