Let’s analyze the factors that are likely to make an impact this earnings season.
Factors at Play
Hilton’s second-quarter 2021 performance is likely to have reflected improvement in group and corporate bookings. However, bookings are likely to have remained below the pre-pandemic level. Uptick in leisure demand, coupled with a rise in forward bookings as well as lengthening booking windows, is likely to have aided the second-quarter top line. This, along with focus on digital traffic, unit expansion strategies, hotel conversions, new project developments, loyalty program and an asset-light business model, is likely to have contributed to the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Constrained international travel, owing to tightened travel restrictions, is likely to have negatively impacted the company’s performance in the second quarter. Also, high operating and fixed costs stemming from the pandemic are likely to have hurt margins in the to-be-reported quarter. During the first quarter, the company experienced significant declines in RevPAR in all regions, primarily due to decline in occupancy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend is likely to have continued in second-quarter 2021.
