Dividend Information and Recent News on Host Hotels & Resorts Ahead of Sep 30, 2025 Ex-Dividend Date

Host Hotels & Resorts (HST) has declared a $0.20 per share dividend, set to be paid on Oct 15, 2025. The ex-dividend date for this payment is Sep 30, 2025, making it the final day investors can purchase the stock to qualify for the dividend. Announced on Sep 11, 2025, the payout represents an increase compared to the average of the previous 10 dividends, which stood at $0.160588 per share. The company has historically issued cash dividends, with its last distribution occurring on Jul 15, 2025, also at $0.20 per share. Investors should note that any shares acquired after the ex-dividend date will not be eligible for this dividend.

Over the past week, Host Hotels & Resorts has been at the center of significant governance-related developments. Most notably, the company has strongly advised holders of its operating partnership units (OP Units) to reject an unsolicited mini-tender offer from MacKenzie Capital Management. The offer, priced at $10.55 per OP Unit, is nearly 67% below the approximate $17.74 market value of the units. Host Hotels emphasized that unit holders have the option to redeem their units for common stock, which is currently trading near $17.37. Analysts have highlighted that such mini-tender offers often target illiquid REIT assets and exploit gaps in investor protections, particularly for retail holders.

In addition, recent reports indicate Host Hotels is continuing to strengthen its long-term value proposition through strategic capital allocations and sustainability initiatives. The company has invested nearly $5 billion in climate-resilient infrastructure since 2020, including hurricane-resistant windows and solar energy projects. These efforts are expected to yield 13–20% returns over five years and align with growing ESG preferences among institutional investors. Moreover, Host’s 2025 revenue guidance of $6.05–$6.11 billion reflects confidence in its operational model and ability to generate stable cash flows.

Since the last update, Host Hotels has also been vocal about the broader risks associated with mini-tender offers, which regulatory bodies have warned can mislead investors into selling at undervalued prices. The company has urged OP unit holders to consult with financial advisors and consider redemption options rather than accept short-term offers that undermine long-term value. As the REIT industry continues to face liquidity challenges, Host’s proactive governance and emphasis on sustainable growth serve as a model for other REITs seeking to balance investor interests with strategic resilience.

Host Hotels & Resorts is reminding shareholders that the ex-dividend date for the upcoming dividend is Sep 30, 2025. Investors must purchase the stock before this date to be eligible for the $0.20 per share payout on Oct 15, 2025.
