Host Hotels & Resorts has outperformed the broader market over the past year as investors cheered the company's exposure to the 2026 FIFA World Cup travel boom. Strong demand across its luxury hotel portfolio, highlighted by Fairmont Mayakoba's selection to host national team delegations, prompted management to raise its full-year guidance for comparable hotel RevPAR and EBITDAre, reinforcing confidence in its earnings outlook.

For the current fiscal year, ending in December 2026, analysts expect HST's EPS to increase 3.4% to $2.14 on a diluted basis. The company's earnings surprise history is impressive. It beat the consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Among the 21 analysts covering HST stock, the consensus is a "Moderate Buy." That's based on 11 "Strong Buy," one "Moderate Buy," and nine "Hold."

The consensus and configuration have been consistent over the past months.

On July 23, Wells Fargo analyst James Feldman maintained a "Buy" rating on Host Hotels & Resorts and raised his price target to $26 from $25.

While HST currently trades above its mean price target of $25.06, the Street high price target of $28 suggests an upside potential of 11.6% from the prevailing price levels.
