The case for and against

Updated Aug 22, 2026

Bull case

Equity Residential is a strong company with a well-diversified portfolio and a focus on high-quality properties in desirable markets. With the recent announcement of a merger with AvalonBay Communities, the combined company is expected to see significant growth in FFO, with an estimated CAGR of 4.6% compared to the industry average of 2.7%. The merger also brings in a robust development pipeline, adding to the potential for future growth. However, the company's heavy concentration in urban areas may pose some risk in the face of urban weakness or disproportionate suburban strength in the market.

Bear case

Equity Residential is likely to face headwinds due to their focus on coastal urban markets, which are experiencing slower rent and occupancy growth. Additionally, the company's increased focus on sustainability may lead to higher expenses in the future. Share repurchases and development projects may also result in lower returns for investors compared to prior years.
