Analysis:
rates Hilton Worldwide Holdings as a
. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth and compelling growth in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk, weak operating cash flow and poor profit margins.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 6.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 7.0%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- HILTON WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, HILTON WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS increased its bottom line by earning $0.68 versus $0.22 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.82 versus $0.68).
- In comparison to the other companies in the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry and the overall market, HILTON WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $467.00 million or 56.63% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.46 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with the unfavorable debt-to-equity ratio, HLT maintains a poor quick ratio of 0.83, which illustrates the inability to avoid short-term cash problems.
