Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT) has a Lemma Quality Score of 6.9 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which reads as solid quality. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Ranked with the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 87th percentile, in the top quarter of its peers. The median across the group is 5.0, and the top quarter begins at 6.1, so Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. is well above the typical company here.
On profitability, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. scores 9.1, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 5.1 across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well above them, at the 93rd percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
On solvency, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. scores 4.2, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.9 across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it well below them, at the 26th percentile. Leverage in the middle of the range is rarely a problem in good years, and it is worth watching how quickly it would tighten in a weak one.
Growth scores 9.3 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 97th percentile. Growth at this level is valuable when it is sustained, and the predictability pillar is the place to check whether it has been steady.
On efficiency, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. scores 6.7, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it above them, at the 63rd percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.’s predictability score is 4.7 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.0 among 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is in line with the group and the 41st percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
This is a lopsided profile. Growth scores 9.3 but solvency only 4.2, a gap of 5.1 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A growth lead says the business is expanding faster than it is doing anything else well, which is worth checking against predictability. A solvency shortfall makes the business more exposed to rising rates and to a weak year.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, 5.9, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.’s overall score would go from 6.9 to about 7.2. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
