AvalonBay Stock: 6 Reasons Why I'm Skeptical Of The Price
We are currently maintaining our hold recommendation for AvalonBay. Our fair value estimate for the stock ranges from $210.36 to $219.73. AVB offers a potential total return of 5.26% as compared to 5.17% for their fixed-income instrument. The 9 bps premium for the equity is insufficient compensation in our view. In evaluating the apartment REIT sector dividend yield as compared to single-A corporate bond effective yield, we also see signs that the sector may be overvalued.
