Host Hotels & Resorts: The Discount To Peers Is Unwarranted
Host Hotels' stock is undervalued, with potential for a rebound as weather impacts ease and margin expansion is expected in 2025.

In this article, I hold myself accountable. The World Beaters portfolio underperformed in share price, contrary to expectations, achieving a total return of (-3.48)%. The portfolio ended the year out yielding the VNQ by 12 bps, but did not achieve the anticipated share price outperformance, despite sterling operating results.

Ahead of the Federal Reserve's critical interest rate decision next week, U.S. equity markets snapped a three-week winning streak as benchmark interest rates jumped to the cusp of five-month highs. Lukewarm CPI and PPI inflation reports were "good enough" to solidify another Fed rate cut next week, but "sticky" trends called into question the outlook for continued easing in 2025. After setting a series of fresh record-highs in the prior week, the S&P 500 slipped 0.6% this week, but still remains on pace for its best year since 2019.
