Equity Residential (EQR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Equity Residential (EQR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Equity Residential is projected to achieve a 3.0% year-over-year same-store revenue growth in 2025 and a consistent 2.6% same-store net operating income (SSNOI) growth, aligning with management’s guidance. The company's forecasted growth is further supported by an increase in funds from operations (FFO) estimates to $4.04 per share for 2025, reflecting an adeptness at managing asset portfolios and non-operating asset gains. Additionally, the company is actively repurchasing shares, with $99 million in equity repurchased during and after 3Q25, suggesting a strategic shift towards enhancing shareholder value amid market uncertainties.
Bears say
Equity Residential's stock has declined 9% this year, underperforming compared to the industry benchmark, raising concerns over its valuation despite an implied cap rate of 6.1%. The company's reliance on urban properties, particularly in key markets like San Francisco and Los Angeles, poses significant risks, as demand for apartment rentals is showing signs of weakening. Furthermore, the early decline in rental demand and lower-than-expected guidance for 3Q25, which reflected a 2.2% blend, indicate potential challenges for the company's future performance.
