Host Hotels & Resorts

Host Hotels reported adjusted EPS of $0.35 for Q2 (consensus $0.33) and revenue of $1.64 billion, with RevPAR up 7.0% and adjusted EBITDAre of $525 million. The shares still fell about 7.3% to $23.29 because the outlook signaled only marginal revenue growth under GAAP and the number of room nights by individual travelers declined 0.7%. Management also cited storm damage costs in Hawaii ($27–32 million), ongoing hotel disposition charges and planned capital expenditures of $550–630 million. A mildly positive analyst update was not enough to prevent profit-taking and negative market dynamics. » More on de.investing.com
