(Reuters) -Hilton Worldwide lifted its 2025 profit forecast on expectations of a complete recovery in domestic travel demand in the U.S. after a sharp pullback earlier this year. But the company’s projection for third-quarter profit came in below analysts’ expectations, sending the hotel operator’s shares down over 2% in premarket trading. Some travel companies, including Delta Airlines (NYSE:DAL) and United Airlines, recently said US travel demand has steadied after a setback in March driven by President Donald Trump’s trade war. "We believe the (U.S.) economy... is set up for better growth over the intermediate term, which should accelerate travel demand," said Hilton CEO Christopher Nassetta. But international tourists from Canada and Europe have cut down U.S. visits. Hilton’s second-quarter U.S. room revenue fell 1.5% compared to a year earlier. The McLean, Virginia-based company expects third-quarter adjusted profit in the range of $1.98 to $2.04 per share, compared with Wall Street estimates of $2.13. Bernstein analyst Richard Clarke also raised concerns about the company’s ability to meet its 6% to 7% projection for 2025 net unit growth, which refers to the number of rooms added to the company’s portfolio. Hilton will need a record second half to meet even the low end of its full-year net unit growth forecast, prompting concerns of a potential downgrade, Clarke said. The company forecast its full-year adjusted profit to be in the range of $7.83 and $8 per share, compared with its earlier forecast of $7.76 to $7.94. Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30 was $3.14 billion, up 6.3% from a year earlier. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks.
