In Host Hotels-and-Resorts's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
Host Hotels-and-Resorts's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Host Hotels-and-Resorts stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90.2% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Host Hotels-and-Resorts stocks, which in turn could have impacted Host Hotels-and-Resorts's stock price.
