CluenexVivmark Residential VMRK
Vivmark Residential scores average on business quality (5.0 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Vivmark Residential does
Equity Residential owns and operates apartment properties, collecting rent from urban and suburban residents to generate steady rental income. The company focuses on dense coastal markets to capture high-income renter demand.
- What it does best
Equity Residential converts rental revenue into cash efficiently, landing in the top decile of its sector with a 95% free cash flow margin rank. This cash conversion relies on prime property locations that command premium rents without requiring constant major capital injections.
- The main risk
Interest coverage sits at 2.6x, leaving the $8.2 billion total debt burden vulnerable if borrowing costs rise or rental revenue stalls. With only $56 million in cash available, debt service absorbs a large slice of operating cash flow.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margins hit 28.2% while free cash flow margins rank in the 95th percentile of the sector. The business turns strong gross margins of 62.3% into reliable cash flow as properties scale.
Urban apartment assets lock in urban renters facing high moving friction and scarce alternative supply. A gross margin of 62.3% sits at the 74th percentile of its sector, reflecting pricing power in tight housing markets.
Revenue grew 3.8% to $3.1 billion, continuing a steady multi-year climb from $2.5 billion in 2021. The rental revenue engine ticks upward reliably, though overall top-line expansion remains modest.
Total debt of $8.2 billion outweighs the $56 million cash pile, and interest coverage of 2.7x leaves little room for error. Free cash flow recovered to $982 million, showing financial conditions are stabilizing.
