Should I Buy Hilton Worldwide Stock? HLT Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Hilton Worldwide pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Hilton Worldwide
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.:

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. has recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share, translating to an annualized dividend of $0.60. This indicates a commitment to returning value to shareholders, which can be attractive for income-focused investors.
The company has a low dividend payout ratio of 9.76%, suggesting that it retains a significant portion of its earnings for reinvestment, which could support future growth and stability.
Recent analyst upgrades have seen price targets for Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. increase, with Barclays raising their target to $287.00, indicating positive market sentiment and potential for stock appreciation.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. has approved a substantial stock repurchase plan of $3.50 billion, which typically signals that the board believes the stock is undervalued and can enhance shareholder value by reducing the number of shares outstanding.
Institutional ownership stands at 95.90%, reflecting strong confidence from large investors, which can be a positive indicator of the company's stability and growth potential.

Hilton Worldwide
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. for these reasons:

Despite recent upgrades, the average rating for Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. remains a "Hold," suggesting that many analysts are cautious about the stock's immediate upside potential.
The current stock price is subject to market volatility, and while recent upgrades are positive, any downturn in the hospitality sector could negatively impact Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.'s performance.
With a relatively low dividend yield of 0.22%, income-focused investors may find better opportunities elsewhere, especially in a rising interest rate environment.
Recent downgrades from some analysts, such as Melius Research lowering their rating from "buy" to "hold," indicate mixed sentiments about the stock's future performance.
The hospitality industry is sensitive to economic fluctuations, and any downturn could adversely affect Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.'s revenue and profitability, making it a riskier investment in uncertain economic times.
