AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (AVB) has seen a flurry of activity across the board.
Swedbank AB and
Lazard Asset Management LLC have acquired thousands of AVB shares, with investment boost from firms including
Tidal Investments LLC and
Bessemer Group Inc.. The firm reported strong Q2 2024 earnings, surpassing expectations and leading to a revised, raised full-year outlook. AVB's earnings per share stood at $1.78 Billion. This positivity has driven
Piper Sandler and
UBS Group to increase AVB's price target. Despite some underperformance in comparison to competitors, AVB's stock is outperforming competitors in terms of losses. The company earned a key benchmark RS rating over 80 and reached a 52-week high of $211.45. Although there's been a downgrade to 'Hold' due to the margin of safety disappearing, and a miss on earnings expectations by $0.93, the overall sentiment leans toward growth. The produced ESG report, coupled with a consensus on AVB being a 'favourite' in residential real estate, and inflated stake by entities like
Janus Henderson Group PLC and
Acadian Asset Management LLC promise potential. As the earnings season approaches, all eyes will be on AVB's performance.
