EQR

In the past six months, several events have impacted Equity Residential's stock price. In Q1 2026, the company reported normalized Funds From Operations (FFO) of $0.99 per share, surpassing analyst estimates, but GAAP EPS missed expectations. Equity Residential raised its quarterly dividend to $0.7025 per share, an annualized increase of 1.4% from 2025. In late April and early May 2026, Bloomberg reported that Equity Residential was in early talks with AvalonBay Communities (AVB) regarding a potential merger. Following the Q1 2026 earnings, several analysts adjusted their price targets for EQR. Earlier in April 2026, a $56 million RealPage antitrust settlement was announced. Over the last six months, EQR's stock price has increased by 9.44%.
