The aim of this paper is to study further the universal toric genus of compact homogeneous spaces and their homogeneous fibrations. We consider the homogeneous spaces with positive Euler characteristic. It is well known that such spaces carry many stable complex structures equivariant under the canonical action of the maximal torus $T^k$. As the torus action in this case has only isolated fixed points it is possible to effectively apply localization formula for the universal toric genus. Using this we prove that the famous topological results related to rigidity and multiplicativity of a Hirzebruch genus can be obtained on homogeneous spaces just using representation theory. In that context for homogeneous $SU$-spaces we prove the well known result about rigidity of the Krichever genus. We also prove that for a large class of stable complex homogeneous spaces any $T^k$-equivariant Hirzebruch genus given by an odd power series vanishes. Related to the problem of multiplicativity we provide construction of stable complex $T^k$-fibrations for which the universal toric genus is twistedly multiplicative. We prove that it is always twistedly multiplicative for almost complex homogeneous fibrations and describe those fibrations for which it is multiplicative. As a consequence for such fibrations the strong relations between rigidity and multiplicativity for an equivariant Hirzebruch genus is established. The universal toric genus of the fibrations for which the base does not admit any stable complex structure is also considered. The main examples here for which we compute the universal toric genus are the homogeneous fibrations over quaternionic projective spaces.
