Foreign ownership of U.S. equities has surged to 18%, up from 7% in 2000, driven by the U.S.'s innovation and efficiency. Goldman Sachs identified four high-dividend stocks favored by foreign investors: Smurfit Westrock, Morgan Stanley, Host Hotels & Resorts, and Regency Centers, highlighting their potential for passive income.
Morgan Stanley upgraded Host Hotels from Underweight to Equalweight, lowering the price target to $15 from $16, citing a more balanced risk-reward scenario despite ongoing challenges in key markets. The stock has dropped nearly 18% in six months, trading at an attractive EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.1x and offering a 7.35% dividend yield. While the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and revenue, analysts remain cautious about future RevPAR performance due to high competitive supply and rising labor costs.
UBS has lowered its price target for Host Hotels & Resorts to $18 from $19, maintaining a Neutral rating due to reduced 2025 EBITDA estimates, now projected at $1,613 million. The company faces challenges in Hawaii, including a $75 million EBITDA impact from the Maui wildfires, and is contemplating selling over 10 properties. Despite a 10% drop in Q3 adjusted EBITDA, Host Hotels anticipates a 1% growth in RevPAR for the year and has bolstered liquidity with a $700 million senior notes issuance.
