What the Analysts think about ESS
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Essex Property Trust stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Essex posted Q2 EPS of $1.48, topping consensus by $0.06, with revenue up 6.33% from a year ago, showing operational resilience (Seeking Alpha).
The company raised its full-year 2025 outlook, increasing net income per share guidance midpoint by $0.73 and core FFO per share midpoint by $0.10, signaling management’s continued confidence in growth (Business Wire).
Essex delivered 3.3% year-over-year same-property NOI growth and a 2.5% sequential NOI increase, supported by a 9% reduction in Washington property taxes, reflecting effective expense control (Business Wire; Alpha Spread).
Southern California, especially Los Angeles, lagged behind with blended rent growth of about 1.3% in Q2 due to higher new apartment supply and slower improvement in rent collections, highlighting region-specific challenges (Alpha Spread).
Interest expense rose 9.7% year-over-year to $64.2 million, and the net debt to EBITDA ratio reached 5.5×, increasing exposure to higher borrowing costs if interest rates stay elevated (Zacks).
Essex’s intentional pullback from its mezzanine financing business is projected to create a $0.06 per share FFO drag in Q4, potentially reducing core FFO gains (GuruFocus).
