Hilton Worldwide Holdings is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is engaged in hospitality with operations the following segments: management and franchise, which includes all of the hotels Co. manages for third-party owners, as well as all franchised hotels operated or managed by someone other than Co.; and Ownership, which primarily provides nightly hotel room sales, food and beverage sales and other services at its owned and leased hotels. Hilton Honors is Co.'s guest loyalty program that rewards guests with points for each stay at its properties, which are then redeemable for free room nights at its properties and other goods and services. The HLT YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the HLT YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether HLT YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the HLT YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
