Description: HST Host Hotels & Resorts

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: HST) operates as a self-managed REIT that owns and operates upscale hotel properties. The company’s structure consists of a parent corporation (Host Inc.) and an operating partnership (Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.), of which Host Inc. is the sole general partner; only about 1 % of Host L.P. interests are held by non-controlling outside partners, reflected as a small non-controlling interest line in the consolidated statements.

As of the most recent quarterly filing (Q2 2024), HST reported an adjusted funds-from-operations (AFFO) of $1.12 billion, a 7 % year-over-year increase driven by higher average daily rates (ADR) of $156 and an occupancy rate of 71 % across its portfolio. The hotel REIT sector is benefiting from robust leisure travel demand, a narrowing supply pipeline, and stabilizing financing costs as the Fed’s policy rate has held steady near 5 %.
