Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. dividend stands at $1.67 per share annually, paid quarterly, making it one of the higher-yielding names in the REIT sector. The current yield is 7.65%, with the next ex-dividend date on September 30, 2026, and the last quarterly payment of $0.20 per share. HST owns roughly 74 U.S. hotel properties totaling about 46,100 rooms, operating under brands like Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Westin, and Hyatt. With a beta of 1.101, this stock carries slightly above-average market sensitivity, making it most relevant to income-focused investors who can tolerate some price volatility.
Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. pays out 63.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer above a full payout, supported by a large portfolio of luxury and upper-upscale hotel properties across 74 U.S. locations. Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from the cyclical nature of lodging demand: the dividend history shows a sharp cut in 2020 and a full suspension that year, demonstrating that hotel revenue can collapse quickly when travel stops.
Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 1.3% per year from 2006 to 2025. Per-share payments moved from $0.74 to $0.95 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR). The largest annual increase in the window was 114.3% in 2012, which reflects a recovery from a deeply depressed base rather than organic acceleration. Growth is slow, and the history includes multiple flat years and at least one significant decline, so income investors should not expect steady annual raises.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +21.5% | $0.53 (2022) | $0.95 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +2.2% | $0.85 (2019) | $0.95 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +2.4% | $0.75 (2014) | $0.95 (2025) |
HST fits income-focused investors who want a high current yield from a large, brand-affiliated hotel REIT and can accept dividend variability. The yield of 7.65% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits nearly double the stock's own 5-year average yield of 3.87%, which reflects either a depressed share price or elevated income expectations baked into the current valuation. The 63.5% payout ratio is manageable but not conservative. What an investor gets here is a large, recognizable lodging portfolio generating a substantial income stream. The trade-off is a dividend that has been cut before and grows at just 1.3% per year over the long run.
