Host Hotels expects 2026 earnings to beat estimates as affluent travelers boost luxury bookings. The REIT reported strong quarterly results on Wednesday.
Insights:
Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. announced on February 18, 2026, that it expects its adjusted funds from operations (FFO) per share for 2026 to range between $2.03 and $2.11. This forecast is above Wall Street estimates, with the company attributing the positive outlook to robust bookings within its luxury hotel portfolio. The announcement coincided with a 1.7% rise in the real estate investment trust's shares during extended trading.
The updated guidance was issued in conjunction with the company's quarterly financial results for the period ended December 31. Both the adjusted quarterly FFO and total revenue for that period exceeded analyst estimates, according to data from LSEG. These results have prompted a revision of the company's near-term earnings expectations.
