Host Hotels (HST) Q2 Revenue Jumps 8%
Host Hotels Resorts (NASDAQ:HST), the largest lodging real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on luxury and upper-upscale hotels, published its Q2 2025 results on July 30, 2025. The headline news was a revenue figure of $1.59 billion (GAAP) for Q2 2025, well ahead of analyst expectations for $1.51 billion (GAAP) revenue in Q2 2025. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) landed at $0.32, but marking a slight dip from last year’s $0.34. While revenue and adjusted earnings were robust, Margins tightened in Q2 2025 due to lower insurance proceeds and rising wage costs. Overall, the quarter reflected solid top-line growth and strong operating execution—even as profitability came under some pressure in Q2 2025.
