Hilton Worldwide Holdings raised its annual room revenue growth forecast on Tuesday, anticipating that consistent US travel demand will sustain growth across its properties. The company expects revenue per available room to increase between 4% and 4.5% for fiscal 2026, an upward revision from its prior projection of 3% to 3.5%. This optimism is supported by strong spending from wealthy consumers on luxury experiences and improved demand in mid-scale and budget hotel segments, despite ongoing inflation and geopolitical concerns. Business travel also remained robust, contributing to the positive outlook. Hilton's luxury properties, Waldorf Astoria and LXR, reported RevPAR increases of 13.9% and 14.3% respectively during the quarter. The company also reported third quarter diluted EPS of $2.37, adjusted diluted EPS of $2.45, net income of $536 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $1,058 million.
