Hilton Worldwide beats target in shares sale
Hilton raised $2.35 billion when it floated on the New York stock exchange today, selling five million more shares than initially planned.
The hotel group sold 117.6 million shares at $20 each. It announced last week that it was aiming to sell 112.8 million for between $18 and $21 each.
