The performance and actions of Host Hotels & Resorts (HST) have been the focus of recent financial news. Despite underperforming in the S&P 500 and removal from the FTSE All-World Index, HST advises against accepting MacKenzie's mini-tender offer, valuing their own units considerably higher. Financial analysts, such as Stifel and UBS, maintain a neutral to Buy rating, with targets hovering around $18.00.
HST's steady quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share, despite its cautious expansion plans, demonstrates underlying strength. It has also shown strong revPAR growth in Q1 2025, and is cautiously optimistic about its long-term revenue and margin improvements despite a low growth prediction for 2025.
As America's largest hotel REIT, HST has a substantial 80-property portfolio performance. Recently, the firm is weighing up the sale of more than 10 properties and has sold the Metro Center Marriott for $128M.
Recent acquisitions include the 1 Hotel Central Park in NYC and the Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole. New C-Suite appointments have also been made. The string of events reflect strategic asset management and robust long-term planning.
