HST Stock and Options Trade Setup — Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
Nasdaq · Lodging REIT — Upper-Upscale Hotels · Moderate-high options liquidity · Large cap · ~$14B
Host is the highest-quality balance sheet in the lodging REIT sector with investment-grade credit, low leverage, and the most liquid stock in its peer group. The portfolio is concentrated in irreplaceable urban and resort assets where supply additions are functionally impossible — Manhattan, San Francisco, Maui, and Miami are gateway markets with essentially zero new upper-upscale hotel construction. Group and corporate travel have both recovered strongly from COVID troughs and are now running above 2019 levels in RevPAR. The ongoing renovation cycle — HST has spent $3B+ upgrading its portfolio — is repositioning properties toward higher ADR mix and reducing near-term capex requirements. The dividend recovery is well underway, with current yield ~4%, and management has signaled continuation of returns-oriented capital allocation.

HST Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is HST a good options trade today?+
Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (HST) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 68/100, ranking it top 40%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is HST's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
HST's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 63%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past HST trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for HST?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the HST setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh HST's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If HST drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for HST?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to HST: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is HST outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. HST currently scores 68.
How does HST compare to other Lodging REIT — Upper-Upscale Hotels setups?+
HST's sector rank and percentile against other Lodging REIT — Upper-Upscale Hotels tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector.
