Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (ELS)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a fully integrated owner and operator of lifestyle oriented properties. The Company leases individual developed areas with access to utilities for placement of factory built homes, cottages, cabins or recreational vehicles.

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.

LT Debt to Equity ratio of 19+, interest coverage is only 1.2, unsustainable 51% dividend payout with a 5 year history of dividend cuts, PE of 52.

Loaded with debt in a hurting sector as credit becomes more scarce. How much longer can ELS expect to hold out?

too much leverage and it must come down. I suspect they will raise capital via an equity offering

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
