Hilton Worldwide (NYSE:HLT) shares moved higher in premarket trading on Wednesday after the hotel group increased its full-year adjusted earnings forecast, reflecting growing optimism over a rebound in U.S. travel activity through the remainder of 2025.
The company now projects annual adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the range of $3.69 billion to $3.72 billion, compared with its prior forecast of $3.65 billion to $3.71 billion.
That guidance also comes in slightly above Bloomberg’s consensus estimate of $3.68 billion, signaling solid demand trends for Hilton’s portfolio of hotel brands heading into the final stretch of the year.
