Rhea AI HST FY2025 2026-05-08

Host Hotels & Resorts turns a depreciation-heavy asset base into cash flow well above earnings, then recycles much of it to owners.

Across FY2023-FY2025, operating cash flow stayed near $1.5B even as operating margin compressed. In FY2025, depreciation and amortization of $795M roughly bridged the gap between earnings and cash from operations, showing reported profit is being dampened more by non-cash asset charges than by weak cash generation.

FY2025 revenue reached $6.1B, but operating income slipped to $855M; that mismatch says newer revenue carried heavier operating cost or asset-related expense. The move in operating margin from 15.4% to 14.0% shows less of each new revenue dollar reached the operating line.

Cash rose to $768M in FY2025 while investing outflows fell sharply from the prior year, yet equity still edged lower because dividends plus buybacks of about $828M slightly exceeded net income. At the same time, long-term debt climbed to $1.3B, so more of the company’s cash return and liquidity posture is being supported by borrowing rather than retained earnings alone.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.97x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Host Hotels generates $1.97 in operating cash flow ($1.5B OCF vs $765.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

3.6x

Host Hotels earns $3.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($855.0M vs $235.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.

Host Hotels (HST) scores 66 out of 100 on our Financial Health Score, indicating strong standing within its REITs peer group. The score is a 0-100 composite of six dimensions (FFO Margin, FFO Growth, Leverage, Interest Cov., AFFO Margin, Dividend Cov.), each ranked as a percentile relative to companies in the same scoring family (banks against banks, REITs against REITs, and so on) rather than across all industries. It rates the quality of the business, not whether the stock is fairly priced, and is not financial advice. Learn more in our complete guide to financial health indicators.
