Equity Residential (EQR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Equity Residential's portfolio consists of 312 apartment communities with over 84,000 units, complemented by two additional developments that will add 655 units, positioning the company favorably in key urban and suburban markets. The company is projecting a 2.6% growth in same-store net operating income (SSNOI) for 2025, supported by a 3.0% increase in same-store revenue, indicating a healthy operational performance in a competitive landscape. Additionally, the firm's strategic focus on capital recycling and asset repurchases, including a notable $99 million in equity repurchased in 3Q25, reflects a proactive approach to enhance shareholder value amid market uncertainties.
Bears say
Equity Residential's stock has declined by 9% this year, underperforming the broader apartment sector, which poses significant concerns regarding the company's market position and future performance. The company's reliance on urban properties in key markets like San Francisco and Los Angeles makes it vulnerable to weakening rental demand and potential migration trends away from coastal cities, which could negatively impact occupancy rates and rental income. Additionally, early signs of demand deterioration have resulted in 3Q25 rental blends falling to the low end of guidance at 2.2%, suggesting that revenue growth may falter in the near term.
