Morgan Stanley upgraded Equity Residential (EQR) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $74, up from $72. The firm’s new analysis has cities outperforming suburbs for the apartments, which it calls a “big shift.” With deliveries set to fall 70% from peak, concession usage should fall, firming occupancy, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Morgan Stanley believes this dynamic favors Equity Residential’s mostly urban exposure.
