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, with a corresponding 2.6% growth in same-store net operating income (SSNOI), aligned with management's guidance. The company has raised its Funds From Operations (FFO) estimate for 2025 to $4.04 per share, reflecting positive momentum driven partially by anticipated non-operating asset gains. Additionally, Equity Residential's proactive approach to capital recycling and significant equity repurchases indicate a strong commitment to enhancing shareholder value in an uncertain market environment.
Bears say
Equity Residential has experienced a significant stock pullback of 9% this year, contrasting sharply with the VNQ, which gained 3%, suggesting broader challenges within the apartment sector. The company is particularly exposed to risks in its key markets, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, where a potential weakening of apartment rental demand and migration trends could further negatively impact performance. Additionally, with more reliance on urban assets and a marked decline in demand reported earlier than anticipated, Equity Residential's third quarter 2025 blends came in at a disappointing 2.2%, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving projected growth.
