Why it matters

  1. What UDR Inc does

    UDR owns and operates multifamily apartment communities across high-density US markets, collecting rent from individual residential tenants to drive cash flow. The firm focuses on portfolio optimization and technology integration to extract higher yields from existing properties.

  2. What it does best

    UDR delivers solid equity returns, posting an ROE of 16.3% that outpaces peers like ESS at 7.5% and MAA at 7.2%. This efficiency stems from a concentrated portfolio in high-barrier coastal and Sunbelt markets where rental demand stays resilient.

  3. The main risk

    Runaway interest rates threaten balance sheet stability, carrying heavy debt-to-equity of 1.8 and thin interest coverage of 1.7x. With $5.8B in net debt, higher borrowing costs squeeze net income and limit capital allocation flexibility.

Quality, check by check

Scored against its own industry, from company filings.

ProfitabilityFair

Operating margin sits at 18.9% with an FCF margin of 20.2%, remaining stable across recent periods. Margins face constant friction from elevated debt costs.

MoatFair

Scale across major metropolitan rental markets secures tenant demand, backed by an ROE in the top quartile of its sector at the 76th percentile.

GrowthSlow

Revenue growth crawls at 2.4%, landing in the bottom quartile of its sector at the 32nd percentile. Growth is fading versus prior historical expansion rates.

Financial healthWeak

Carrying $5.8B in net debt with interest coverage at 1.7x, debt service is heavy. Free cash flow sits at $347M, getting softer compared to prior years.
