About Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.
Hilton is a global hospitality company that franchises, manages and licenses hotels under a family of brands, including Hilton, Conrad, Waldorf Astoria, DoubleTree, Hampton and Embassy Suites. Most properties are owned by outside investors, so Hilton supplies the brand, booking systems and the Hilton Honors loyalty programme while owners provide the buildings. Travellers book rooms for business and leisure, and hotel owners are its main direct customers.
Hilton collects fees from the hotels that use its brands, typically linked to room revenue, along with income from the few properties it owns or leases. Revenue is $12.5 billion over the last twelve months, rising 11.1% a year across the last three years. The operating margin is 23.3%, and the business earns a profit of 34% on the capital invested in it. It has net debt of 4.0 times EBITDA, and the dividend yield is 0.2%. On the site's X-Ray Score it receives 40 out of 100.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies like Apple). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate
$239model spread $205 – $258
Overvalued
−30.8% to fair value
Equal blend of three models: peer multiples, a fundamentals-adjusted multiple (growth, ROIC and margin) and a 10-year DCF scaled to the market's average. Earnings-power value (no growth) is a floor and not part of the blend. Model uncertainty is Medium, so the safety margin is 30%.

What this means
Weak business, priced high
Our models put fair value below today's price, so a lot of good news may already be in the price. A high score does not guarantee a good outcome; it shifts the odds a little. Use the checklist as a prompt for your own research.
