Highlands Ranch, Colorado-based UDR, Inc. (UDR) owns, operates, acquires, develops, redevelops, renovates and manages apartment communities in high barrier-to-entry markets. With a market cap of $13.6 billion, UDR operates as one of the most favorably-positioned multi-family apartment REITs in the U.S.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks." UDR fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding the threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the REIT industry.
UDR touched its two-year high of $47.55 on Sep. 16, 2024, and is currently trading 13% below that peak. UDR stock has dropped 4.5% over the past three months, lagging behind the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s ($DOWI) 1.4% gains during the same time frame.
UDR stock has underperformed the Dow over the longer term as well. UDR stock prices have dropped 4.7% on a YTD basis and inched up 1.7% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind Dow’s marginal uptick in 2025 and 8.8% gains over the past year.
UDR has traded mostly below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since early April with some fluctuations, underscoring its recent downturn.
UDR stock prices gained 1.7% in the trading session after the release of its resilient Q1 results on Apr. 30. The company experienced high demand for its apartment house, leading to a 2.6% year-over-year growth in comparable same-store sales and a 2.8% increase in comparable net operating income. Its overall topline for the quarter increased slightly more than 2% year-over-year to approximately $422 million. Meanwhile, its adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) observed a marginal 63 bps growth to $219.1 million, and its AFFO per share of $0.61 matched the Street’s expectations.
While UDR has underperformed its peer Invitation Homes Inc.’s (INVH) 6.4% gains in 2025, it has outperformed INVH’s 4% decline over the past 52 weeks.
Among the 24 analysts covering the UDR stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $46.29 suggests an 11.8% upside potential from current price levels.
