Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. shares surged after the company’s second-quarter results showed the travel recovery has staying power.

The McLean, Virginia-based company reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.29, beating an average analyst estimate of $1.05, according to a statement Wednesday. Hilton also raised its full-year guidance, giving investors confidence that recession fears aren’t limiting vacation planning or corporate travel budgets.
