Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HLT)?

Today we're going to take a look at the well-established Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HLT). The company's stock received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to US$163 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$111. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Hilton Worldwide Holdings' current trading price of US$117 reflective of the actual value of the large-cap?

What is Hilton Worldwide Holdings worth?

Good news, investors! Hilton Worldwide Holdings is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $167.06, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Hilton Worldwide Holdings’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What kind of growth will Hilton Worldwide Holdings generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. Hilton Worldwide Holdings' earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since HLT is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.
