Is Hilton Worldwide stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Hilton Worldwide stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Hilton Worldwide's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Hilton Worldwide's P/E ratio

Hilton Worldwide's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 52x. In other words, Hilton Worldwide shares trade at around 52x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Hilton Worldwide's PEG ratio

Hilton Worldwide's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.149. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Hilton Worldwide's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Hilton Worldwide's EBITDA

Hilton Worldwide's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.5 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Hilton Worldwide's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Hilton Worldwide share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 8.52% of net profits

Recently Hilton Worldwide has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hilton Worldwide shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hilton Worldwide's case, that would currently equate to about $0.6 per share.

While Hilton Worldwide's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Hilton Worldwide is investing more in its future growth.

Hilton Worldwide's most recent dividend payout was on 26 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Hilton Worldwide's shares ever split?

Hilton Worldwide's shares were split on a 1000:2052 basis on 3 January 2017 . So if you had owned 2052 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hilton Worldwide shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 105.2% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hilton Worldwide shares which in turn could have impacted Hilton Worldwide's share price.

Hilton Worldwide share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Hilton Worldwide's shares have ranged in value from as little as $177.7347 up to $259.01. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Hilton Worldwide's is 1.307. This would suggest that Hilton Worldwide's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
