Host Hotels & Resorts stock reports 3.4 percent revenue growth

Host Hotels & Resorts (NASDAQ: HST) stood at USD 22.15 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026, down 0.58 percent from the previous close. The lodging REIT paired that market snapshot with second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 1.64 billion, up 3.4 percent year over year, according to MarketBeat.

Revenue reached USD 1.64 billion

Host Hotels reported EPS of USD 0.63 for the quarter, above the USD 0.62 consensus estimate and ahead of the USD 0.58 result from the same period a year earlier. The comparison shows that earnings growth outpaced the 3.4 percent revenue increase, although the figures reflect different operating and reporting measures.

Host Hotels & Resorts authorized a quarterly cash dividend of USD 0.20 per share on September 15, 2026. The payment is scheduled for October 15, 2026, for stockholders of record on September 30, 2026.

Guidance remains USD 2.15 to USD 2.18

Fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stands at USD 2.15 to USD 2.18, while the current fiscal-year analyst estimate cited by MarketBeat is USD 2.17. That midpoint comparison places the estimate inside management's range and gives the next earnings release a clear numerical benchmark.

The portfolio consists of 70 US properties and five international properties totaling approximately 41,300 rooms, according to the company's September 15 release. Host Hotels is a lodging real estate investment trust focused on luxury and upper-upscale hotels, with seven domestic joint-venture interests.

November 4 is the next checkpoint

Host Hotels will report third-quarter 2026 financial results after the market close on November 4, 2026, and will hold its earnings call on November 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET, according to Host Hotels & Resorts. For investors, the key test is whether revenue growth and EPS can remain consistent with the USD 2.15 to USD 2.18 full-year outlook.
