Equity Residential (EQR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Equity Residential is expected to achieve a year-over-year same-store revenue growth of 3.0% in 2025, contributing to a projected 2.6% SSNOI growth that aligns with management's guidance. The company has also raised its Funds from Operations (FFO) estimate for 2025 to $4.04 per share, reflecting improved performance partly due to anticipated non-operating asset gains. Additionally, Equity Residential's strategic asset repurchase activity, which has reached $99 million, demonstrates its commitment to capital recycling and positions the company favorably amid current market uncertainties.
Bears say
Equity Residential has experienced a significant stock pullback of 9% this year, underperforming the broader apartment sector, as concerns grow over declining demand for rental properties in its key urban markets such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. The company's high exposure to urban properties may be a liability, as the trend indicates a shifting preference towards suburban living, compounding the risk of underperformance in a weakening rental market. Additionally, with blended rental growth rates falling to the low end of guidance at just 2.2%, Equity Residential faces substantial headwinds that could continue to erode its financial stability.
