FBR Capital maintains a 'Market Perform' on Host Hotels (NYSE: HST), new PT $18.

FBR analyst says, "Following 1Q results, we are lowering our price target from $19 to $18, which is based on 14.5x our 2012 estimated EBITDA to account for expectations of slightly higher net debt next year. We are, however, raising our 2011 AFFO estimate to $0.96 from $0.94 and adjusted EBITDA estimate to $1,075M from $1,063M to reflect accretion from recent acquisitions. And, while we are increasing our 2012 adjusted EBITDA estimate to $1,381M from $1,369M previously, our 2012E AFFO/share estimate goes down slightly to $1.35 from $1.37 to reflect slightly higher interest expense on higher debt balance. While 1Q11 RevPAR results were somewhat uninspiring, we believe results get progressively better from here for Host, notably in 2H11."
