On this page we presented the HLT Historical PE Ratio information for Hilton Worldwide Holdings' stock. The average HLT historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 38.7. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average HLT historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 40.5. Note: any PE calculations resulting in a value exceeding 500 were discarded as not meaningful. Note: any PE calculations involving negative earnings were discarded as not meaningful.

Let's now compare this HLT historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 3/28/2024, the most recent closing price for HLT had been 213.31, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 6.72. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 6.22. From these numbers, we calculate the recent HLT PE on 3/28/2024 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 31.7. Based on HLT's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 18.1% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for Hilton Worldwide Holdings. Looking at the recent HLT PE on 3/28/2024 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 34.3. Based on HLT's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 15.3% lower than the average PE across our Hilton Worldwide Holdings data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.

Another interesting HLT historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for HLT, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for HLT, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 1.24, 1.63, 1.67, and 1.68. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 1.63 and 1.67 — which gives us the median of 1.65. Basically the way to think about this 1.65 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 1.65 marks the "middle ground" number where HLT has reported a value higher than 1.65 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 1.65 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 6.6/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 213.31 as the numerator (as of 3/28/2024), the calculation is then 213.31 / 6.6 = 32.3 as the HLT PE ratio as of 3/28/2024, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
