Equity Residential (EQR-N) has been recognized as a leading multi-family REIT, operating mainly in select coastal markets and expanding into the US Sun Belt. Despite possessing a significant market capitalization and a strong management team, the company faces challenges due to an influx of new supply in the market. The competitive landscape, exacerbated by shifts in population during the Covid pandemic, has resulted in limited pricing power for the company. While there is a perception that the stock is currently undervalued based on its implied cap rate of around 6%, experts suggest waiting to invest until 2026 or 2027 to see more favorable conditions for appreciation.
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.

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.
