What matters now
- The model range is unusually wide ($8.71 to $23.73). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (63/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- As a real-estate business, asset- and dividend-based methods carry more weight here than a standard DCF.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $11.59 – $25.54 · fair‑value band $8.71 – $23.73 · the $21.99 price screens above the $15.81 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 18, 2026.
Analysis
Host Hotels & Resorts Inc (HST) currently trades at $21.99, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $15.81, implying the stock looks roughly 39.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $18.98 per share, and 3 of the 16 models we run sit above the $21.99 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $6.41, and 13 of the 16 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Host Hotels & Resorts Inc generated revenue of $6.2B at a net margin of 16.4%. Revenue grew 2.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.9%. Net debt stands at $4.9B. Fundamentals as of Aug 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $8.71 (bear case) to $23.73 (bull case); at $21.99, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 52% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at −28% fair-value upside, at −28%, HST screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.4688 per share, which is 3.0 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($18.98) versus Asset-Based ($6.41). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (78).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 59 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 66
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
