Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Capital FlexibilityProceeds from asset sales increase capital flexibility, enabling additional shareholder returns or targeted investments that may improve long-term earnings quality.
Share RepurchasesManagement plans to use excess proceeds from property sales to fund additional share repurchases, which could boost per-share metrics and support investor returns.
Urban Market OutperformanceStronger rent and income performance in key urban markets such as San Francisco and New York provides localized revenue resilience within the broader portfolio.
Bears Say
Coastal Demand And Policy RiskWeak job markets, entertainment-sector job cuts, stretched housing affordability, and potential rent control and tax policy shifts in major coastal metros could weaken fundamentals and limit rent growth.
Conservative GuidanceManagement's cautious guidance implying only modest revenue and same-store net operating income growth signals limited leasing momentum and may reduce investor confidence.
Rent Pricing PressureFalling new lease rates and slowing renewal rate growth have compressed blended rent pricing, putting pressure on revenue growth across the portfolio.

EQR Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a cautiously optimistic outlook. Management emphasized strong portfolio fundamentals—high occupancy (96.4%), record-low resident turnover, and outsized contributions from San Francisco and New York (≈30% of NOI)—alongside active capital allocation (>$300M buybacks in 2025 and $1.3B returned to shareholders). They provided constructive 2026 guidance (FFO/share midpoint +2.25%, blended rent growth 1.5%–3%) and a favorable supply backdrop (deliveries down ≈35% in 2026). Counterbalancing this were notable near-term challenges: late‑2025 deceleration in rent momentum, negative new-lease rates across most markets, pressure from high supply in expansion/Sunbelt markets, modest other-income misses, and interest/expense headwinds. Management is focused on selective development, dispositions of lower-return assets, and further automation to drive efficiency. Overall, the positives (occupancy, market concentration in strong markets, buybacks, cost control and supply improvement) outweigh the near-term headwinds, leaving a constructive but cautious tone for 2026.View all EQR earnings summariesEQR Stock 12 Month Forecast
