AvalonBay Communities and Equity Residential are two of the biggest names in the U.S. apartment REIT space, each offering a different approach to urban rental exposure. AvalonBay has shown stronger FFO growth and a more balanced market mix, giving it a leg up in terms of long-term potential. Equity Residential, while solid and income-focused, is still feeling the weight of slower rent recovery in some of its core markets.
Although the stock market has rebounded significantly from its lows, there are still some excellent bargains to be found by patient long-term investors. That's especially true when it comes to dividend stocks, as the persistent high-interest rate environment and uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's future policy moves have created a headwind for income-focused investments.
AVB's quarterly performance reflects better-than-expected operating results. It has reaffirmed its full-year 2025 outlook.
