Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Improved Operational Momentum And GuidanceAnalyst highlights a core funds-from-operations beat and a guidance raise, signaling stronger operating momentum and potential upside to valuation.
Limited New Supply Supporting PricingAnalyst notes limited new apartment supply across the West Coast footprint should support pricing power and help sustain rent increases.
San Francisco Market StrengthAnalyst expects San Francisco to drive stronger rent and revenue growth as recovering office leasing and tech job expansion boost apartment demand.
Bears Say
Los Angeles Market WeaknessAnalyst warns that a slower-than-expected recovery in Los Angeles, particularly in Hollywood, is weakening leasing demand and weighing on revenue growth.
Preferred Redemptions And FFO PressureAnalyst notes that redemptions of preferred shares have moderated funds-from-operations growth, creating capital-structure pressure that could raise financing costs.
Regulatory Risk From California ProposalsAnalyst flags proposed measures such as a wealth tax and statewide rent control that could reduce investment appeal in the state and pressure returns.
