Host Hotels & Resorts had $6.1B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 7.6% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +30.4% a year on average.
Hi! I read Host Hotels & Resortsβs latest annual report (fiscal 2025). Here is what stands out:
Good So-so Weak
Are sales growing?
+7.6%
Yes. Sales grew 7.6% last year.
Does it make a profit?
12.5%
Yes. It keeps 12.5% of every sale as profit.
Is debt under control?
2.6x
Keep an eye on it. Repaying its debt would take 2.6 years of operating profit.
How is the share priced?
16.6x
One share costs 16.6 times its yearly profit per share. Typical for its sector: 28.2x.
Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
About these figures. Host's debt is its total debt including finance leases; the long-term debt figure in its filings covers only part of it. Host's cash flow statement splits its spending on its properties across several lines (renewals and replacements, and return-on-investment projects) with no total, so capital spending and free cash flow are left blank.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days Host Hotels & Resorts did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.

From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
KIRA Β· Host Hotels & Resorts had $6.1B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 7.6% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +30.4% a year on average. Its operating margin was 14.0%, down 1.4Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 14 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).
KIRA Β· Host Hotels & Resorts made $765M of net profit in fiscal 2025. From fiscal 2016 to 2025, diluted EPS grew 0.8% a year.
Loss periods are shown in red.
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.
How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.
KIRA Β· Host Hotels & Resorts returned $828M to shareholders in fiscal 2025. The diluted share count fell 1.4%.
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).
KIRA Β· In the last 12 months, insiders sold $5.8M of shares on the open market and bought none.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
