The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 4, 2026 (estimated)

Host Hotels & Resorts's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 4.9% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 21.4%. Where it stands out: long-term debt as % of assets of 9.8% ranks 1 of 14 hotel & resort reits companies we cover. Where it lags: change in growth rate of -1.2pp ranks 13 of 15 hotel & resort reits companies we cover.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 17.0% while net income grew 55.8%: a 39pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Strong cash generation. 21.4% of revenue turned into free cash flow.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.3% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $2.0bn.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Results due soon. Results are expected around 4 November; the share price can move sharply on the day.
  • Below peers: change in growth rate. Change in growth rate of -1.2pp ranks 13 of 15 hotel & resort reits companies we cover (median +0.7pp).
  • Earnings expected to fall. The consensus expects earnings per share to fall 24% next year.

Moat

59 /100

Moderate moat

How hard Host Hotels & Resorts's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 7 / 20

    Net income has been a median 5.3% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Durability 3 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 12.9%; its worst year was -54.4%.

  • Cash conversion 19 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 9 of 10 years, at a median 19.0% of revenue.

  • Discipline 19 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 6.7% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.4% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Low. In this industry, the business rests on physical assets, regulated networks or products AI itself depends on.
