UBS Downgrades Sun Communities to Neutral, Lowers Price Target to $134

BofA Securities analyst Joshua Dennerlein revised ratings on residential REITs, Veris Residential, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRE#NYSE">VRE</a>) and Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>).
VRE: The analyst upgraded the company to Buy from Neutral and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/vre/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $23 from $20</a>.
The analyst notes that the market is undervaluing VRE&#8217;s internal growth potential and its ability to successfully execute optimization initiatives.
The analyst says that VRE is excelling in its key initiatives: capital allocation, portfolio optimization, and balance sheet management.
The analyst sees the greatest upside from capital recycling to reduce leverage, a strategy that distinguishes VRE in the Residential REIT sector.
The analyst raised the 2025 FFO estimate to $0.65 (from $0.59) and 2026 FFO estimate to $0.71 (from $0.63). Dennerlein forecasts SS NOI growth of 5.9% in 2025, significantly higher than the Street&#8217;s 2.36%.
Given VRE&#8217;s apartment portfolio, the analyst projects SS revenue growth to outperform the peer average, projecting 4.7% compared to the apartment sector average of 3.0%.
Additionally, the analyst anticipates below-average SS expense growth of 1.8%, well below the apartment sector average of 4.0%, as VRE continues to optimize its operating platform.
SUI: Dennerlein downgraded the company to Underperform from Neutral and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sui/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $114 from $147</a>.
The analyst expects SUI to underperform until management changes are finalized, governance concerns are addressed, and a clear strategy is set by the new CEO.
During the earnings call, SUI&#8217;s CEO responded to a recent short report highlighting concerns over accounting and governance, notes the analyst.
The analyst says that, however, in the discussions with investors, the focus was primarily on governance, and they were &#8216;disappointed&#8217; by management&#8217;s avoidance of the issue.
Dennerlein believes that company culture plays a crucial role in long-term success and notes that management did not adequately address these concerns.
SUI provided preliminary rental rate growth projections for 2025 alongside its third-quarter results. Unfortunately, the initial guidance fell short of the expectations, adds the analyst.
The analyst reduced the 2025 FFO estimates to $6.93 (from $7.36) and 2026 FFO estimates to $7.19 (from $7.85), while raising the cap rate to 5.5% (from 5.2%).
Price Action: SUI shares are down 2.59% at $123.83, while VRE shares are up 1.02% at $18.28 at the last check Tuesday.

Peering Into Sun Communities's Recent Short Interest

Hurricane Helene&#8217;s devastation claimed the lives of more than 130 people and left nearly 800,000 without power, according to the latest figures. The storm, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41073069/hurricane-helene-update-28-dead-power-outages-insurance-damages-and-more">made landfall on September 26</a>, tore through the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and North and South Carolina.
New Developments: Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/en/news/thp/2024-10-01/biden-plans-survey-of-devastation-in-north-carolina-as-helene-s-death-toll-tops-130">reported</a> that the Hurricane Helene death toll reached 139 on Tuesday.
Duke Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), the largest utility provider in North Carolina and South Carolina, reported over two million customers experienced an electricity outage. On Monday, the Charlotte-based provider announced it had restored power to 1,350,000 customers without power.
About 443,000 customers in South Carolina remained without power; a slightly smaller 346,000 customers in North Carolina are still experiencing outages. Duke Energy expects to restore most remaining outages by Friday night, though it noted that it will be more difficult in inaccessible areas.
Even though the process of estimating the storm's insurance losses is ongoing, insurers likely will face comparatively less exposure to Hurricane Helene than initially thought. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-sp500-nasdaq-live-09-30-2024/card/insurers-likely-won-t-feel-the-full-force-of-hurricane-helene-QKMNmp4CoGGEQXUuJq18?mod=Searchresults_pos12&amp;page=1">According</a> to the Wall Street Journal, citing industry sources, reinsurers will not face catastrophic losses.
The total economic loss — including the uninsured damage incurred — is projected to be much graver. Moody's Analytics estimated the economic damage from the hurricane to be between $20 billion to $34 billion.
American International Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIG#NYSE">AIG</a>), Axa SA ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXAHY#OTC">AXAHY</a>), Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) and Allstate Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) are among the largest flood insurers in North Carolina, <a href="https://www.wral.com/story/homeowners-insurance-doesn-t-cover-floods-how-to-protect-your-home-in-north-carolina/21370970/">according</a> to WRAL News.
REITs Report Limited Damage: Several REITs with properties in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas reported little to no damage following the storm.
In a Tuesday press release, Sun Communities, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUI#NYSE">SUI</a>) reported no material building or structure damage due to the hurricane. The company operates communities in several affected states.
