AvalonBay Communities (AVB) now trades at historically low FFO and AFFO multiples, presenting an attractive entry point. I expect Core FFO and AFFO per share growth to resume strongly in 2027–2028, following a flat period in 2025–2026 due to development and rent headwinds. AVB's disciplined capital allocation—moderate leverage, aggressive buybacks, and high-yield development—positions it well for long-term upside.

AVB's strong balance sheet and capital allocation, including $488 million in buybacks and property sales, underpin dividend stability and financial flexibility.
