On Oct. 30, the company announced its Q3 2024 earnings, posting an FFO of $2.21, compared to the consensus of $2.17 and revenues of $551.126 million, compared to the consensus of $548.865 million, as reported by Benzinga.

Eric Bolton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We continue to see strong demand for apartment housing, which contributes to the steady absorption of the high volume of new supply delivered in the third quarter, which we believe has now peaked. Resident turnover is at record low levels, lease renewal pricing is strong, occupancy is steady and collections remain strong. We are confident that in calendar year 2025, we will see a meaningful decline in the amount of new supply impacting our portfolio and we will enter a new multiyear cycle with demand outpacing supply.”
