Shares of Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. HLT, +1.21% fell 1.1% in premarket trading Wednesday, after the hotel operator reported third-quarter earnings that topped expectations but provided a downbeat outlook for the current quarter, while saying an “inflection point” has been hit as a “meaningful uptick” in openings is expected.
