If You Bought UDR Stock 10 Years Ago

The company's stock traded at approximately $30.77 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 325 shares. Currently, shares trade at $44.69, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $14,524 from stock price appreciation alone. However, UDR also paid dividends during these 10 years. 

UDR's dividend yield is currently 3.78%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $13.81 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $4,488 from dividends alone. 

Summing up $14,524 and $4,488, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $19,012. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in UDR stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 90.12%. However, this figure is significantly less than the S&P 500 total return for the same period, which was 233.08%.

On Oct. 30, the company announced its Q3 2024 earnings, posting an AFFO of $0.54, matching expectations and revenues of $418.088 million, compared to the consensus estimate of $418.228 million, as reported by Benzinga.

"Continued resiliency in the labor market coupled with attractive relative affordability of apartment rentals has resulted in solid performance despite decades-high levels of new supply completions," said Tom Toomey, UDR's Chairman and CEO. "Based on our year-to-date successes, the strength of our operating platform and continued innovation, we are again raising full-year 2024 FFOA per diluted share and Same-Store growth guidance expectations."

Given almost no expected upside potential, growth-focused investors may not find UDR stock attractive. Conversely, the stock can be a good option for income-focused investors, who can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 3.78% and consistent hikes. UDR has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 14 years.
