Equity Residential (EQR), valued at a market cap of $25.6 billion, is a fully integrated multi-family real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses on the acquisition, development, and management of residential properties located in and around dynamic cities across the country that attract affluent long-term renters. The Chicago, Illinois-based company is expected to announce its fiscal Q4 earnings results on Feb. 4.
Ahead of this event, analysts project the REIT to report an FFO of $1 per share, flat from the year-ago quarter. The company has beaten or met Wall Street's FFO estimates in all of the last four quarters.
