Michael Diana has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily driven by UMH’s strong financial performance and strategic growth initiatives. The company reported a core funds from operations (FFO) of $0.25 for the third quarter of 2025, which not only surpassed market expectations but also adequately covered the quarterly dividend, reflecting financial stability.
UMH’s impressive net operating income (NOI) growth, particularly a 12% increase in the same-property NOI, outpaces its peers and underscores the effectiveness of its value-add acquisition strategy. The acquisition of five new manufactured housing communities in 2025 further strengthens its growth potential. Additionally, UMH’s financial position, with sufficient cash reserves and marketable securities, supports its expansion plans. Diana maintains a price target of $20.50, which suggests a significant upside potential, reinforcing the Buy recommendation.
In another report released yesterday, Compass Point also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $23.50 price target.
UMH’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $17.300 to $14.840, which is a -14.22% drop .
