Host Hotels & Resorts stock was last at USD 22.24 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 1.07 percent from the prior close. The price stood 13.5 percent below its 52-week high of USD 25.71 and above the USD 15.61 low, putting the market value at USD 15.2 billion.

Analysts set a higher benchmark

The latest consensus points to an average target of USD 25.29, which is 13.72 percent above the USD 22.24 price. According to Barron's on October 6, 2026, the consensus was Buy, based on 22 ratings, with a target range of USD 21.00 to USD 29.00. A separate consensus page from MarketScreener lists 21 analysts, an Outperform mean rating and the same USD 25.29 average target.

The range matters because the lowest published target of USD 21.00 sits below the latest Nasdaq price, while the highest reaches USD 29.00. That spread places the stock's valuation debate alongside the hotel cycle rather than making the consensus a one-way signal.

Second-quarter figures support the case

Host Hotels reported USD 1.64 billion in second-quarter 2026 revenue, up 3.4 percent year over year, according to MarketScreener citing the August 5, 2026 results. Adjusted funds from operations reached USD 0.63 per share versus a FactSet estimate of USD 0.62, giving investors a concrete operating comparison.

Management also raised full-year 2026 comparable hotel RevPAR growth guidance to 4.75 percent to 5.25 percent, while full-year revenue guidance stood at USD 6.12 billion to USD 6.15 billion, the same report said. For a lodging REIT, RevPAR is the key bridge between room demand, pricing and funds available for dividends.

Next results arrive in November

Host Hotels had declared a regular quarterly dividend of USD 0.20 per share payable October 15, 2026, according to Host Hotels & Resorts on September 15, 2026. Its next scheduled earnings release is November 4, 2026, after the market close, followed by a conference call on November 5, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET, according to Host Hotels & Resorts on September 14, 2026.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Host Hotels & Resorts was last at USD 22.24 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with volume of 4,815,258 shares. The next results report will test whether the 4.75 percent to 5.25 percent RevPAR outlook can support the distance between the current price and the USD 25.71 52-week high.
