One quarter does not a turnaround make. But if recent results are an indication, better days may be ahead for hotel giant Hilton. On Monday, the Relative Strength (RS) Rating for Hilton Worldwide (HLT) climbed to 82, up from 79 the day before.
XThe 82 RS Rating means that Hilton stock price has outperformed 82% of all stocks over the past year. Market research shows that the stocks that go on to make the biggest gains typically have an 80 or better RS Rating as they begin their biggest climbs.

With Covid again in retreat, if consumers are itching to travel the spigot could open up fully for Hilton stock, though there's no guarantee of course.
