The company’s stock traded at approximately $201.53 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 50 shares. Currently, shares trade at $310.46, meaning your investment’s value could have grown to $15,405 from stock price appreciation alone. However, Essex Property Trust also paid dividends during these 10 years.

Essex Property Trust’s dividend yield is currently 3.16%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $75.45 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $3,744 from dividends alone.

Summing up $15,405 and $3,744, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $19,149. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in Essex Property Trust stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 91.49%.

Essex Property Trust has a consensus rating of “Neutral” and a price target of $275.92 based on the ratings of 30 analysts. The price target implies more than 11% potential downside from the current stock price.

On Oct. 29, the company announced its Q3 2024 earnings, posting a core FFO of $3.91, compared to the consensus estimate of $3.88, as reported by Benzinga.

For the full year, the company raised its core FFO guidance range to $15.50 – $15.62 and revenue growth range to 3.10% – 3.40%.

Given the expected downside potential of 11%, growth-focused investors may not find Essex Property Trust 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 3.16% and consistent hikes. Essex Property Trust has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 30 years.
