Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Equity Residential trades at $63.66, which is 55% above the $28.43 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 71 out of 100, which is a wide moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 27.5 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Common questions
Is Equity Residential (EQR) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $28.43, EQR at $63.66 is 55% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own EQR?
11 of the institutions we track reported a position in EQR in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is EQR's P/E ratio?
EQR trades at 27.5 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Equity Residential (EQR) pay a dividend?
Yes. Equity Residential yields 4.09% at the current share price. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
