Essex Property Trust (ESS) is drawing renewed investor attention due to recent mixed return figures, including a flat past month and a negative annual return, despite positive 3 and 5-year gains. The company is currently trading at US$254.52, with Simply Wall St's analysis suggesting it is undervalued by approximately 9.6% against an estimated fair value of $281.63. This valuation considers potential benefits from declining new multifamily supply in its West Coast markets by late 2025, which is expected to boost occupancy and rent growth, though it also faces risks from softer Los Angeles performance and regulatory pressures in California and Seattle.

Essex Property Trust (ESS) has seen a slowdown in its recent returns, prompting a re-evaluation of its stock. Despite a roughly flat month and a negative annual return, the company is seen as potentially undervalued, trading below an estimated fair value of $281.63, with an indicated intrinsic discount of about 32%. This narrative is supported by expectations of reduced multifamily supply in its West Coast markets which could drive occupancy and rent growth, though risks like softer Los Angeles performance and regulatory exposure exist.
