CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month price target by $9 to $293, or 32x our 2026 EPS estimate (unchanged) and in line with shares' five-year average forward multiple. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate to $9.16 from $8.88 and lower 2027's to $10.03 from $10.20. Following Q1 results that beat expectations and included raised guidance, we maintain our 2-STARS (Sell) rating. U.S. RevPAR performance broadened from primarily luxury and upper upscale segments to include more meaningful midscale contribution, which management attributes to the return of middle- and low-income consumers. However, we note Q1 results also included ADR deceleration, particularly among luxury hotels, which historically drive significant profit contribution. HLT's Q2 EBITDA guidance of $1,015-$1,035 million being below the $1,081 million consensus suggests luxury pricing power is weakening faster than midscale volume can offset. While the broadening demand trend is positive, we believe slowing luxury tailwinds limit upside at current valuation levels.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:HLT posted Q1 adj. EPS of $2.01 (+16.8% Y/Y), beating the $1.97 consensus, while total revenue of $2.94B (+9.0% Y/Y) was in line with estimates. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth accelerated 110 bps to +3.6%, led by occupancy gains (+140 bps to 67.4%) and average daily rate increases (+1.5% Y/Y), with broad-based strength across regions led by Europe (+6.9%) and Asia Pacific (+4.7%). Development momentum remained robust with 26,200 new rooms approved and the launch of Select by Hilton expanding into 26 new countries, positioning HLT well for continued growth. Despite raising systemwide RevPAR guidance to 2%-3% from 1%-2%, Q2 adj. EBITDA guidance ($1,015M-$1,035M) disappointed vs. the $1,081M consensus. We view the profit guidance as disappointing given the raised RevPAR outlook, suggesting consensus estimates could be too high. In our view, while strong demand trends and World Cup benefits could drive RevPAR outperformance, the guidance disconnect raises concerns about margin expansion potential.
