Essex Property Trust stock was last at USD 272.49 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT, with a market capitalization of USD 17.5 billion. The company has set October 27, 2026 for its third-quarter earnings release, putting the next operating update at the center of the investment case.

Third-quarter results get a date

According to Business Wire on October 6, 2026, Essex will publish its Q3 2026 results after the market closes on October 27. Management scheduled the conference call for October 28, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET.

The date matters because the latest reported quarter combined operational growth with a sharp decline in GAAP earnings. Essex reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 489.05 million and diluted GAAP earnings per share of USD 0.97, according to MarketBeat. The prior-year comparison in the same report shows EPS of USD 4.03, highlighting the effect of property-sale gains on the reported number.

Guidance sets the operating test

Essex's Q3 2026 guidance calls for EPS of USD 3.930-4.050, while full-year 2026 guidance stands at USD 16.030-16.250, MarketBeat reported. The full-year range gives the October results a clear benchmark, with operating performance carrying more weight than a single GAAP earnings comparison.

MarketBeat also reports a Moderate Buy consensus from 22 research firms, comprising 1 strong buy, 10 buys, 10 holds and 1 sell. The average one-year price target is USD 303.04, which places the target 11.2 percent above the USD 272.49 price used here.

Stock remains below yearly high

Essex Property Trust stock was last at USD 272.49 on October 6, 2026, after a session range of USD 272.01 to USD 276.77. Its 52-week range is USD 238.46 to USD 303.35, while volume reached 633,376 shares.

The valuation picture therefore combines a scheduled earnings checkpoint with a share price below the yearly high and a consensus target above the latest quote. For investors, the October 27 release will test whether the full-year Core FFO range of USD 16.03-16.25 remains supported by apartment operations.
