Bears say
AvalonBay Communities faces significant risks due to its portfolio's geographic composition, with approximately 75% of its assets located in suburban areas, which may underperform compared to urban counterparts. Additionally, projected core funds from operations (FFO) per share for 2025 and 2026 have been revised downward by $0.05 each, reflecting weaker blended spread assumptions. Furthermore, a lower target multiple has contributed to a $3 per share reduction in the company's target price, indicating potential challenges in maintaining financial performance amid shifting market dynamics.
