Josh Brown Pitches 'Potential Breakout' Stock

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE:HLT) is one of the 10 Buzzing Stocks to Watch as AI Trade Makes a Comebacks.

Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, recently talked about hotels and resorts company Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE:HLT) during a program on CNBC and called it a breakout stock. Here is how Brown made the case of the stock that’s up 12% so far this year.

“This is a potential breakout. It’s not quite in progress, but it’s getting very close. And I thought I’d spotlight this. Basically, we saw a golden cross happen as the stock climbed out of its Liberation Day lows. Hilton was in a 24% drawdown. Now, it’s back to within 4% of 52-week highs. Got that 50-day crossing back over the 200-day. Look, the sector itself — leisure, lodging, travel, service industries in the S&P — every single name, with one exception, is above its 50-day. The sector is just absolutely on fire. We talked about the cruise lines the other day, and Hilton should follow through here. Full-year guidance looked great, and that’s why the stock’s working. So, I think the 270s is where traders want to watch for that trigger. If it can get through the 270s on convincing volume, I think it’s a pretty good setup.”
