Hilton moves its principal stock listing to Nasdaq on 5 November 2026. The company told the NYSE on 20 October and filed a Form 8-K recording items 3.01, 7.01 and 9.01 the same day.
NYSE trading ends at the close on 4 November. Nasdaq trading opens on 5 November under HLT. The filing records that the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
The table the release sets beside the move
Hilton pairs the announcement with a 2013-to-2026 comparison. The 2013 column comes from the Form S-1 filed on 11 December 2013. The 2026 column is stamped 30 June 2026.
Properties go from 4,080 to 9,453. Rooms from 671,926 to 1,384,842. Brands from 10 to 28. Countries and territories from 90 to 144. Pipeline rooms from 185,699 to 541,300. Hilton Honors members from 39 million to 260 million. Luxury and lifestyle hotels from 47 to 1,200.
Three ratios inside those columns
Each figure below is calculated from the two numbers the release prints.
Rooms per property move from 164.7 to 146.5. The system added 5,373 properties and 712,916 rooms across the thirteen years.
Pipeline rooms run at 27.6 per cent of open rooms in 2013 and 39.1 per cent at the 2026 cut-off, with 541,300 signed rooms against 1,384,842 open.
Luxury and lifestyle hotels multiply 25.5 times across the period.
The stated reason
Chris Nassetta, president and chief executive, tied the transfer to the operating model. "Fueled by our asset-light business model, best-in-class brands, award-winning culture and leading commercial and technology platforms, Hilton continues to define what's next in travel," he said.
He gave the venue the same weight. "Nasdaq is closely aligned with our growth ambitions, and we look forward to joining a marketplace that is highly respected as the home of many of the world's most innovative companies," he said.
Adena Friedman, chair and chief executive of Nasdaq, said the exchange was proud to welcome Hilton and would support the company as it enters a new chapter.
The record the release keeps
Hilton lists on the NYSE in 1946 as the first hotel company on the exchange. Blackstone held the company privately before the 2013 return, and Nassetta thanked the NYSE for the partnership in the same release.
The release states that the transfer leaves the business strategy, the capital allocation priorities and the commitments to guests, owners, team members and shareholders unchanged.
The release carries no market capitalisation figure, no share price and no estimate of the fees attached to a listing change.
