John Kim has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight UDR’s strong performance and strategic positioning. The company’s second-quarter results for 2025 showed an impressive financial performance, with earnings surpassing expectations and an upward revision in guidance. Key contributors to this success included favorable lease rates, reduced bad debt, and increased other income.
Additionally, UDR demonstrated robust revenue growth in major markets such as Washington D.C., San Francisco, and New York City, while also achieving notable improvements in new lease rates in the Southeast and Northeast regions. Despite a slight decline in occupancy in Washington D.C., attributed to longer lease signing times, the overall positive trends in lease renewals and reduced insurance costs further support the Buy rating. These factors collectively underscore UDR’s solid operational framework and growth potential.
