Equity Residential (EQR-N) is recognized as the top multi-family Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) operating primarily in select coastal markets and increasingly in the U.S. Sun Belt. The company holds a substantial market capitalization and is noted for its high-quality management and substantial property portfolio. However, the multi-family space has encountered challenges, notably due to an influx of new supply and shifts in population during and post-COVID, which have resulted in limited pricing power and appreciation in property values. Despite these challenges, the current stock is perceived as undervalued, indicated by an implied cap rate in the low to mid-6% range, suggesting potential for gains in the future. Experts recommend a cautious approach, advising that investment may be more favorable in late 2026 or 2027, allowing time for market conditions to stabilize.

WAIT

Multi-family REIT. Operates in only a handful of select coastal markets, increasingly in US Sun Belt. Very large market cap. High-quality management and portfolio. 

Space has struggled since a lot of new supply came on. Through Covid a lot of people moved, and then it settled down. Very low pricing power in the space.

Doesn't see a lot of appreciation. Stock's cheap. Implied cap rate is in low-mid 6% range. You're paid to wait, but he wouldn't enter till later 2026 or into 2027.

COMMENT

This has gone through significant transactions over the last 2 years, going from the “everything” Reit in apartments, to really focusing on the coastal market. He prefers Camden Property Trust (CPT-N). The US apartment REITs have been flat, and there is a bit of concern that people will be buying houses instead of renting. This is fine for a Hold, but he wouldn’t hold your breath thinking it is going to leap up to new highs.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jul 7/16, Down 1.68%) She had been buying more. It benefits as interest rates move around. This stock can easily go up double digits going forward.

TOP PICK

An old line traditional residential real estate equity trust. It had a stumble recently so it is a buying opportunity. 2.93% yield.
