UDR stock (ISIN US9029011082) was last at USD 33.83 on the NYSE on September 28, 2026, 2.70 percent above its 52-week low of USD 32.94. The latest operating picture combines a quarterly earnings beat with cautious rent growth and a 2026 guidance increase.

Q2 EPS beats consensus

UDR reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 425.4 million, while diluted EPS reached USD 0.21. MarketBeat reported that the EPS result exceeded the USD 0.13 consensus estimate by USD 0.08, while revenue was above the USD 423.35 million forecast.

The comparison matters because the revenue beat was modest, but the earnings gap was substantial at 61.54 percent versus consensus. UDRs GAAP result also improved from USD 0.11 per diluted share in the year-earlier quarter, according to StockTitan.

Guidance rises as rents recover

The company raised its full-year 2026 guidance for adjusted FFO to USD 2.49-2.57 per diluted share, with a midpoint of USD 2.53. The same release set second-half leasing guidance at 1.50 percent to 2.00 percent and targeted occupancy of 96.50 percent.

At a September 16, 2026 conference, management said second-quarter same-store revenue growth reached 1.90 percent and exceeded the midpoint of guidance by 15 basis points. Investing.com also reported that UDR had completed more than USD 600 million of asset dispositions and more than USD 400 million of stock repurchases year to date.

The stock was last at USD 33.83 at 4:00 p.m. ET on September 28, 2026, down USD 0.01, or 0.03 percent, from the prior session. That level places the shares 19.45 percent below the 52-week high and keeps valuation and operating execution closely linked for investors.
