Morgan Stanley upgraded Equity Residential (EQR) to Overweight, driven by resilient markets, tighter new supply, and planned share repurchases. Despite recent positive share price momentum, EQR is trading at $60.27, below an estimated fair value of $70.07, suggesting it may be undervalued. The report highlights EQR’s strong portfolio in urban markets and potential for above-market rent growth, while also cautioning about softer net income trends and pressure in coastal markets.
