AVB Stock Recent News

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVALONBAY COMMUNITIES, INC. (NYSE: AVB) (the “Company”) today provided an update on certain third quarter Same Store Residential operating metrics. The Same Store Residential operating metrics presented in the following tables were generally consistent with the Company's expectations for these metrics for the two months ended August 31, 2024 when the Company published its updated outlook for full year 2024 Same Store Residential revenue growth on July 31, 2024.

Fortune.com recently reported that renter households in the US rose by 1.9% in the second quarter, 3x the increase of homeowner households. It is the third consecutive quarter where this happened, suggesting that rental REITs to buy could be a wise investment in the year's second half.

Equity Residential bought 11 apartments with 3572 units from Blackstone for $964 million, expanding its presence in Dallas, Denver, and Atlanta. Public apartment REITs are trading below asset value, with substantial differences in pricing based on location and quality of properties. Multifamily REITs like BSRTF, NXRT, CSR, and CPT are considered the most compelling investments in the sector, but caution is advised due to potential economic downturn.

Here is how AvalonBay Communities (AVB) and Jackson Financial (JXN) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

The next cycle for public REITs could be more similar to those of the 1990s and early 2000s than one of the past 14 years. In prior cycles, public REITs enjoyed a cost of capital that allowed for significant external growth, boosting cash flow and dividends per share. Many companies spent the past cycle shoring up their balance sheets to record low leverage and maintaining a low dividend payout to enhance flexibility.

AvalonBay (AVB) is well positioned to outperform the market, as it exhibits above-average growth in financials.
