Hilton Worldwide is a hotel company from Virginia. Its brands include Hilton, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, DoubleTree and Hampton. Most hotels belong to other owners; Hilton earns mainly franchise and management fees. As of Oct 13, 2026
Hilton is a global hospitality company with hotel brands ranging from luxury to all-suites hotels as well as timeshare brands. The company reports in a management and franchise segment and in a segment for owned and leased hotels. In the former, revenue comes mainly from fees that hotel owners pay for management and franchise contracts as well as from license agreements. Hilton does not own, manage or operate franchised hotels, but licenses brand names and operating systems to the owners. The owned and leased hotels segment earns its revenue mainly from room nights, food, beverages and other services in consolidated hotels. In the Hilton Honors loyalty program, guests earn points for stays in leased, managed and franchised hotels as well as in timeshare resorts.

New buy zone
A new buy zone has just formed for this symbol (valid since Oct 27, 2026). With Watcher you see it right away – with buy zone, targets and stop; for you it becomes visible on Oct 29, 2026.

Rule (4-hour candles) Zone valid since Oct 27, 2026 · unchanged since then Zone historyThe zone history shows since when a buy zone has applied, when it was adjusted and when the price touched or left it. Recording began on Oct 12, 2026, only runs forward and fills nothing in – older zones are marked “known at start of recording” or “already existing when added”.Example: New buy zone on Oct 14, no adjustment since → “zone valid since Oct 14, 2026 · unchanged since”.More in the Academy: Lesson buy zone and Fibonacci

Elliott count: Flat (type known only after C), Corrective pattern (upward), C in progress (2 of 3 guidelines) · B = 118% of A; C = 130% of A
Note: Flat type (regular, expanded, running) can only be decided once C is complete.
Note: Structure ambiguous: leg A can also be read as three- or five-part.
Note: Retracement at least 88.7% of A: flat possible (B in progress, type only with C).
Elliott count calculated automatically by fixed Elliott rules, not investment advice – display only, our buy zones do not use it. Provisional: The count can change with new candles.
No buy zone of the rule on this timeframe – the chart shows only the Elliott count from the completed weekly candles (recalculated every day). Not a recommendation, not investment advice. Without a buy zone there is no reference for percentages – so no value axis and no prices; measurements are ratios of wave lengths.

On 4-hour candles the rule currently has no setup, and the Elliott count finds no count that follows the rules – so there is no analysis chart. The chart is recalculated every hour.

Elliott count: Impulse, Impulse pattern (upward), Wave 3 complete (2 of 3 guidelines) · W2 = 52% of W1; W3 = 213% of W1
Comparison: The rule treats the last rise as the possible start of an upward impulse (without checking its history and structure). The Elliott count reads it as the end of wave 3.
Alternative (not drawn): Double zigzag (W-X-Y), Corrective pattern (upward), Y complete (2 of 3 guidelines)
Note: Structure ambiguous: leg W1, W3 can also be read as three- or five-part.

Weighting Main scenario (2 of 3 guidelines, medium) · no alternative Guidelines (strength of the count)Guidelines are typical features of a count, such as usual Fibonacci lengths or a change in the form of correction. Strong means: at least three quarters met, medium: at least half, otherwise weak. Even a strong count can flip.Example: 3 of 3 guidelines → strong; 2 of 4 → medium; 1 of 3 → weak.More in the Academy: Lesson wave degrees
Weighting by guidelines met – not a probability.
As long as the weekly close stays above the end of B, this applies: flat countermove upward in three waves (Flat, type known only after C), C in progress – count points to rising prices.
Invalid if the weekly close is below the end of B
If that breaks, this count no longer applies. Currently no alternative that follows the rules.

smaller wave degree Smaller wave degree: more sensitive turning-point detection, because no count fits at the usual degree – it describes shorter swings. Provisional – check the count yourself on the chart.
As long as the 4-hour close stays above the start of wave 1, this applies: Upward move in five waves (Impulse), wave 2 in progress (pullback) – count then points to rising prices.
Invalid if the 4-hour close is below the start of wave 1
If that breaks, the alternative moves to the front: complex countermove upward (Combination W-X-Y), Y complete – count points to falling prices, as long as the 4-hour close stays below the end of Y.

Information only – does not affect our buy zones, not investment advice. Source: SEC filings, As of Feb 11, 2026.
Summarized from the lights below. Describes the reported figures – not a recommendation to buy or sell.
Fiscal year 2025 (Jan 1, 2025 – Dec 31, 2025): Revenue 12.0B USD · Net income 1.5B USD · Net margin 12.1%
Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median Sector medianThe middle value of all companies in a sector: half are above it, half below. Unlike the average, single outliers hardly distort it.Example: Margins 4%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 60% → median 10%, average 18.8%.More in the Academy: Lesson putting the P/E in context of all 50 symbols in the Consumer Discretionary sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).
+22.8% per year, last 5 years
Sector Consumer Discretionary: median +11.0% (49 symbols)
What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 22.8% per year on average – at least as fast as the median company in the sector (+11.0%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
– per year, last 5 years
Sector Consumer Discretionary: median +9.7% (30 symbols)
per share: not computable (loss in the first or last year)
What does this mean? There was a loss in the first or last year. An annual growth rate cannot be calculated meaningfully then.
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
12.1% last fiscal year
Sector Consumer Discretionary: median 9.4% (49 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 12.10 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (9.4%). Five years ago the margin was −16.6%.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
– latest balance sheet
Sector Consumer Discretionary: median 0.76 (25 symbols)
What does this mean? Equity is negative (e.g. due to share buybacks). A debt-to-equity ratio cannot be formed meaningfully then.
Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.
10% Dividend / earnings per share
Sector Consumer Discretionary: median 32% (26 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 1 USD of earnings per share, 0.10 USD went to shareholders as a dividend. The rest stays in the company. Median company in the sector: 32%.
Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.
9 of 10 fiscal years with a profit
What does this mean? In 9 of the last 10 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. One year ended with a loss.
Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).

How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Per-share values adjusted for stock split Stock splitA company divides each share into several new ones; the value of the company stays the same. We convert per-share values from before the split to today’s scale.Example: Split 4 : 1, earnings per share before $11.89 → comparable today $2.97.More in the Academy: Lesson revenue, profit and margin 1:3 (between Oct 26, 2016 and Feb 15, 2017).
