Hilton Raises Full-Year RevPAR Forecast Following Strong Q2 Performance
Hilton Worldwide Holdings raised its full-year revenue per available room (RevPAR) forecast for fiscal 2026, citing strong demand trends and the positive impact of the recently concluded FIFA World Cup. The company now expects a currency-neutral increase in system-wide comparable RevPAR by 3% to 3.5%, up from previous guidance of 2% to 3%. For Q2 2026 ended June 30, Hilton reported a 3.9% rise in RevPAR compared with the same period in 2025. The company's second-quarter net income rose to $482 million from $442 million year-over-year, while adjusted EBITDA reached $1,054 million and total revenue climbed to $3.34 billion. Despite strong overall performance, the Middle East and Africa region saw a 29.5% drop in RevPAR due to ongoing regional conflicts affecting travel demand. Looking ahead, Hilton anticipates continued momentum into 2027 but expects some challenges in Q4 from unfavorable calendar shifts and U.S. midterm elections.
