A valuation overview puts the company’s market capitalization at approximately 77.57 billion dollars, underlining its scale in the global lodging sector.

The same valuation source assigns Hilton a score of 9.48 on its internal scale, ranking the stock 12th out of 119 companies in the broad "Hotels & Entertainment Services" industry.
