# UDR Inc. (UDR) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Real Estate / Residential REITs. Price $35.93, market value $13.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 16.9×** (5-yr avg 88.8×, 3-yr avg 70.9×). UDR Inc. trades at 16.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 88.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 64.2×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.19**. A PEG of 0.19 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 30.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 30.4×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 3.7×**. The shares trade at 3.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 13.8×**. Enterprise value is 13.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Earnings yield: 5.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.9% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 153.4%**. 153.4% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Return on equity: 11.5%**. 11.5% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 4.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 36.6%** (3-yr 31.3%/yr, 5-yr 17.5%/yr). Revenue grew 36.6% over the last year, against 17.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 334.6%** (3-yr 63.2%/yr, 5-yr 41.4%/yr). Earnings per share rose 334.6%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.77**. Debt is 1.77 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet, which is normal for real estate.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 4.2×**. It would take 4.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.83**. A Z-score of 1.83 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 4.84%** ($1.73 per share, trailing). UDR Inc. yields 4.84%, an income-level yield.
- **Payout ratio: 150%**. The dividend exceeds earnings (150% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 16**. 16 straight years of increases, a record that survived at least one recession.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 3.8%/yr** (1-yr 1.2%). The dividend has grown 3.8% a year over five years.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 9.6%** (YTD 0.7%, 3-mo -7.2%). The shares are up 9.6% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -14.5%** (8.5% above the low). Trading 14% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 60**. An RSI of 60 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.13** (volatility 20%). Beta of 0.13 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
