HSTHost Hotels & Resorts
Is it safe?
Nothing alarming, nothing pristine: insiders quiet, comfortable debt (AA), and typical volatility.
Insiders were net sellers (-$2.8M, 90 days to Oct 8, 2026), selling is often routine.
Net cash and profitable. A rule of thumb on leverage, not a credit rating.
Moderate price swings, typical volatility. Worst drawdown -55% · now 11% below its 52-week high.
Against the whole market›
Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. Altman sits structurally low for utilities and pipelines; Beneish runs high for fast growers, since sales growth alone lifts it; banks and REITs are excluded.
Can HST take a bad year?
Host Hotels & Resorts holds $1.86B more cash than debt, so a bad year is a question about profits, not about lenders.
