Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. dividend stands at $1.67 per share annually, paid quarterly by the world's largest lodging REIT. The current yield is 7.5%, backed by a portfolio of roughly 46,100 rooms across 74 U.S. properties operating under brands like Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, and Hyatt. HST pays dividends quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on June 30, 2026, and the last dividend amount of $0.92 per share. At a beta of 1.122, this stock carries above-average market sensitivity, making it a fit for income-focused investors who can tolerate cyclical swings.
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 100% payout, supported by HST's position as the world's largest lodging REIT with 74 U.S. properties generating revenue across luxury and upper-upscale segments. Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from cyclicality: the history table shows the annual payout dropped to $0.20 in 2020, demonstrating that hotel demand shocks can force sharp cuts. A beta of 1.122 reinforces that this is not a low-volatility income holding.
Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of -0.3% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share, that means the dividend moved from $1.00 at the start of the window to $0.95 by 2025 (with 2026 partial and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 250.0% in 2011, reflecting a recovery from a near-zero base rather than organic growth. Growth is slow, and the long-run CAGR is essentially flat, which limits the compounding appeal for investors prioritizing dividend expansion.
| 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 stock is built for income-focused investors who want a high current yield from a large-scale hotel REIT, not dividend growth. The yield of 7.5% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits nearly double the 5-year average yield of 3.79%, which reflects how much the payout has recovered since the 2020 cut. The trade-off is clear: the -0.3% long-run CAGR means purchasing power from the dividend does not grow over time, and a beta above 1.1 means the stock price moves with the market. An investor in HST gets a large income stream from a portfolio of luxury hotel properties today, and accepts flat dividend growth and cyclical price risk in return.
