Hilton Posts 15% EPS Gain in Q2

Hilton Worldwide (NYSE:HLT), the global hotel operator behind brands like Waldorf Astoria and Hampton by Hilton, reported second-quarter results on July 23, 2025, for the period ended June 30. The company posted Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.20, beating the consensus estimate of $2.05. Revenue grew to $3.14 billion, also ahead of the $3.10 billion expectation. Both EPS and revenue improved versus the same period last year. However, revenue per available room (RevPAR) dipped 0.5 % system-wide, reflecting softer U.S. demand. Overall, the quarter was marked by strong bottom-line performance, record growth in hotel development, and continued capital returns, but also increasing caution in growth forecasts as travel demand normalizes.
