AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (AVB)

CAPS Rating:
*

A real estate investment trust engaged in the development, redevelopment, acquisition, ownership and operation of multifamily communities in the barrier-to-entry markets of the United States.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

A Price to Cash Flow of 30.70, and a rise in earnings, plus a dividend to help accelerate our earnings. This stock s going to outperform the market.

Major REIT bubble. AVB a part of it. High valuation, low fully taxable dividend. Fundamentals point to a $70 stock.
