  • Revenue Growth (FY2024): +5.3% | Same-Store Revenue Growth: +3.4%
  • Core FFO Growth (FY2024): +3.6%

Growth Profile

AvalonBay delivered consistent mid-single-digit revenue growth through FY2022–FY2024 as post-COVID apartment demand recovery drove strong blended rent spreads. FY2025 growth moderated to ~3.7% as new apartment supply deliveries from 2022–2024 construction starts created concession pressure in some markets. FY2026 same-store revenue guidance is +1.4%, reflecting continued moderation before a supply-driven recovery in 2027+. The development pipeline (24 communities under construction) represents significant embedded NAV growth as projects stabilize.

Forward Estimates

  • FY2025 Revenue: ~$3.04B (actual, +3.7% YoY)
  • FY2026 Same-Store Revenue Growth: ~1.4% guidance; Core FFO/share growth expected flat to slightly up
  • FY2027–2028: Analysts project strong recovery as new supply cycle peaks and delivery completions slow; Core FFO growth resumes at 4–6%
  • Long-term: 3.8% dividend increase announced for 2025, consistent with management confidence in FCF durability
