Key catalyst

Q4 2025 earnings release and guidance • 2026-02-28

Expected move: +6%

Biggest risk

Bear case assumes macro weakness compresses occupancy and rent growth, accelerating new supply in key markets and pressure on FFO multiples.

Invalidation

Break below $135 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Bull case hinges on sustained occupancy gains, same-store revenue growth above consensus, continued operating leverage, and multiple expansion to the low-mid 20%s above current levels.
