Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (HST)

CAPS Rating:

The Company operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust with its operations conducted solely through an operating partnership, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. or Host LP and its subsidiaries.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Okay, I'm in. Normally, I'd stay away from a company with so much LT debt, but I guess that comes with the REIT territory, doesn't it? Good cash flows, Good growth prospects, and any upturn in Real Estate (which will come sooner or later) can only help.

Look for this one to rebound and rebound strong once recession fears pass. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
