Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) and Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE: HLT) have had very different results this year. The COVID-19 pandemic boosted member demand at Costco's warehouses and increased online ordering. On the flip side, the virus severely impacted personal and business travel, to Hilton's detriment.
The stock prices reflect these diverging fortunes. Costco's share price is up by 27% for the year while Hilton's is down by 1%. But, while COVID-19 cases are surging, several companies have produced promising data on the vaccine front.
That makes this a good time to look at where each company goes from here to determine which one offers better prospects.
