Bethesda, Maryland-based Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (HST) is the largest lodging REIT in the U.S., owning a high-quality portfolio of luxury and upper-upscale hotels primarily in top U.S. markets. With a market cap of $11 billion, the company focuses on acquiring, renovating, and operating premium hotel properties through partnerships with leading hotel brands, benefiting from strong travel demand and prime locations.
Despite its premium hotel portfolio, Host Hotels & Resorts has struggled to keep pace with the broader market. HST stock has plummeted 8.6% on a YTD basis and 9.8% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 16.3% gains in 2025 and 17.7% returns over the past year.
