In brief

What this company does

Hilton operates hotel, resort, and timeshare properties, with 9,158 properties comprising 1,351,351 rooms in 143 countries and territories as of December 31, 2025. We operate our business through two segments, management and franchise and ownership, each reported separately given its distinct economic characteristics. The management and franchise segment includes hotels the company manages for third-party owners as well as properties that license its intellectual property or use its booking channels, with the day-to-day services of those hotels run by others. The ownership segment primarily derives revenues from nightly hotel room sales, food and beverage sales, and other services at the company's consolidated hotels. As of December 31, 2025, the company employed or managed approximately 182,000 individuals at its leased and managed hotels and corporate offices. Hilton was founded in 1919 by Conrad Hilton.

Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · USD

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
