HLT

Hilton Worldwide Holdings (HLT) is expected to report Q3 2026 results on October 27 with an earnings beat predicted by Zacks' model. The company is benefiting from stronger business and group travel demand, steady leisure travel, and a growing hotel pipeline supporting fee growth.

However, Middle East conflict, hotel renovations, and weaker demand in China present headwinds. Consensus estimates project EPS of $2.34 (10.9% growth YoY) and revenues of $3.39 billion (8.5% growth YoY).

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT) is expected to report Q3 2026 earnings on October 27, with consensus estimates of $2.34 EPS (up 10.9% YoY) and $3.39B in revenues (up 8.5% YoY). However, the stock carries a negative Earnings ESP of -2.53%, indicating recent analyst downgrades and making it difficult to predict an earnings beat. With a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), HLT does not appear to be a compelling earnings-beat candidate.
