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.
Shares jumped 8% above their $20 offer price after their stock market debut.
Hilton, whose brands include Conrad, Waldorf Astoria, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites, Home2Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn and Hilton Grand Vacations, will use the money raised to pay down debt.
