If You Bought UDR Stock 10 Years Ago

The company's stock traded at approximately $31.89 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 314 shares. Currently, shares trade at $44.48, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $13,948 from stock price appreciation alone. However, UDR also paid dividends during these 10 years. 

UDR's dividend yield is currently 3.84%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $14.24 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $4,465 from dividends alone. 

Summing up $13,948 and $4,465, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $18,413. 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 84.13%. However, this figure is significantly less than the S&P 500 total return for the same period, which was 220.72%.

What Could The Next 10 Years Bring? 

UDR has a consensus rating of "Neutral" and a price target of $45.19 based on the ratings of 27 analysts. The price target implies less than 2% potential upside from the current stock price.

On Feb. 5, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting FFO of $0.63, in line with expectations, as reported by Benzinga.

"2024 was another solid year, with FFOA per share growth that exceeded our original guidance expectations despite historically high levels of new supply completions," said CEO Tom Toomey. "As we look ahead, we see easing supply pressures, a resilient labor market, and relative affordability of apartments that remains attractive versus other forms of housing, collectively creating a fundamental backdrop for improved Same-Store NOI growth."

For Q1 2025, the company sees FFO per diluted share in the range of $0.60 to $0.62. For full-year 2025, FFO per diluted share is expected to be between $2.45 and $2.55.

Given the expected upside potential of less than 2%, 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 3.84% and consistent hikes. UDR has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 15 years.
