Subsequently, the Starwood Capital Entities received an offer from Host Hotels &amp; Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HST#NYSE">HST</a>) to purchase the 1 CP on terms which the Starwood Capital Group Entities concluded were in the best interest of their investors to accept. HST's acquisition of the 1 CP was consummated on July 31, 2024. To date, Jaws has not identified one or more additional hotel interests that would constitute a suitable replacement for the 1 CP in the Initial Portfolio.

When the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, bonds lose some of their luster, making dividend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-dividend-paying-stocks">payers more attractive</a>.
But, as Ned Davis Research points out <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/12/turn-to-these-dividend-growers-as-the-fed-cuts-rates.html">to</a> CNBC, not all dividend stocks are created equal.
&#8220;In a slow cycle, economic growth remains positive but generally is moderating, and in that environment, investors tend to put a premium on growth of all kinds,&#8221; Ned Davis Research&#8217;s chief U.S. strategist, Ed Clissold said. &#8220;Companies that can still grow their dividend in that environment are signaling to the market that their cash flows and balance sheets are in good shape.&#8221;

The following REIT stocks offer strong dividend growth that could be your best bet in this environment, Clissold says.
<ul>
<li>Host Hotels &amp; Resorts Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HST#NASDAQ">HST</a>) has upside potential. The stock is down 18.53% year-to-date and a good 12.34% over the past month alone. But don&#8217;t let that fool you. Host Hotels stock pays a dividend yield of around 5% currently. Per analysts&#8217; consensus, the stock is a Buy with a consensus price target of $20.95 a share. The stock closed the trading day Monday at $16.05 a share, down 1.71% for the day. Specializing in luxury and upscale hotels, this company could bounce back as travel demand stabilizes. </li>
<li>Equinix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQIX#NASDAQ">EQIX</a>) is a diversified data center landlord riding the artificial intelligence wave. With demand for data centers soaring, Equinix offers a dividend yield of 2.08%. Equinix stock is up 8.61% YTD. The stock is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EQIX/analyst-ratings">rated a Buy</a> per consensus analyst estimates with a price target of $844.15 a share. The stock, with AI on its side, could be poised for growth. </li>
<li>Prologis Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLD#NYSE">PLD</a>) is an industrial REIT that went through a rough patch earlier this year. Its stock is down 10.87% YTD. The stock sports a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLD/dividends">3.2% dividend yield</a>. Analyst consensus rating holds the stock at a Buy with a price target of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLD/analyst-ratings">$140.60 a share</a>. The company initially spooked investors by cutting guidance in April but has since reversed course, raising its full-year forecast in July. If you&#8217;re looking for a recovery play with a solid dividend, Prologis could be the one to watch.</li>
</ul>
As the Fed gently taps the brakes on rates, dividend growth stocks like these could be your ticket to steady income and potential capital gains. Keep an eye on how the Fed&#8217;s actions unfold, and remember: growth often trumps yield in slow cycles.

<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Host Hotels & Resorts shares are trading are trading lower after the company reported Q2 financial results and cut its FY24 guidance.

2024 OUTLOOK
The Company has reduced its full year guidance range as a result of a slower than expected recovery from the wildfires in Maui and moderating leisure transient demand, which is driven primarily by elevated international U.S. outbound travel relative to historic levels without a corresponding increase in international inbound travel.
Operating profit margin in 2024 is expected to be flat to 2023, while comparable hotel EBITDA margins are expected to decline compared to 2023, due to the impacts from the Maui wildfires and continued growth in wages, real estate taxes and insurance. At the midpoint of guidance, the impact from Maui operations is expected to be an approximate decline of 180 basis points in RevPAR and 120 basis points in Total RevPAR. When combined with the expected pre-wildfire Maui contribution, the total impact is estimated to be 250 basis points and 190 basis points, respectively. Net of the benefit of the business interruption gains relating to the wildfires, the year-over-year impact from Maui on net income and Adjusted EBITDAre for full year is expected to be a decline of $25 million, and on margins is expected to be a decline of approximately 20 basis points.
The guidance includes an estimated $12 million and $22 million of net income and Adjusted EBITDAre, respectively, which is expected from the recent acquisitions of 1 Hotel Central Park and The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay. Due to the timing of the acquisitions, the results for these two hotels will be included in the comparable hotel guidance starting in the third quarter. Alila Ventana Big Sur reopened on May 22, 2024, following its closure due to the collapse of a portion of Highway 1 in California in March 2024, but continues to be excluded from the comparable hotel set for 2024.
The Company anticipates its 2024 operating results as compared to 2023 will be in the following range:
