View RiskAvalonBay Communities (AVB) must sustain its revenue growth to justify its current valuation. Revenue growth is about 3% per year, with FY26 guidance at 1.1% to 2.4%. AVB trades at 4.7× P/FFO, below the peer median of 12.9×. This suggests that the price reflects less growth than forecasted. A specific risk is the potential for a guidance cut, which could negatively impact estimates. Peer multiples imply a price about 8% below where it trades.
