Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (US59522J1034) traded at $131.06 on August 17, 2026, with a 5-day move of -1.77% and a year-to-date change of -1.13%. The latest quarter reported $555.1 million of revenue, just below the $556.2 million FactSet estimate, which keeps the stock's mid-August setup centered on rent growth and demand resilience.
Market backdrop
The shares also traded at $132.38 on August 17, 2026 in a separate market snapshot, with a market capitalization of $15.36 billion and a beta of 0.73. That combination leaves the REIT in a narrow range relative to its recent trading band, even as the analyst view stays neutral.
MarketBeat data cited in recent coverage puts the consensus at Hold with an average price target of $144.81, while Barclays trimmed its target to $146 from $147 and kept an equal weight rating. The spread between the latest close and that target range is not large, but it is wide enough to keep valuation and cash flow in the foreground.
Latest operating pulse
The most recent reported quarter delivered $555.1 million of revenue on July 29, 2026, versus a $556.2 million estimate, and that narrow gap matters for a landlord whose earnings depend on occupancy, rents, and expense control. The same result set also points to a $1.53 quarterly dividend paid on July 31, 2026, which remains part of the income case for the stock.
Analyst and market data in the result set show 8 Buy, 11 Hold, and 1 Sell ratings, with the average target hovering in the mid-$140s. For investors, that mix signals a stock that still has support from income and asset quality, but not enough conviction for a stronger rerating yet.
Product and portfolio
Mid-America Apartment Communities focuses on multifamily apartment communities across the U.S., with a portfolio model built on rent collection, occupancy, and redevelopment rather than one-off product sales. That structure makes quarterly revenue, dividend coverage, and same-store operating trends the key numbers to watch.
Shares and valuation
As of August 17, 2026, the stock was quoted at $131.06 in one market snapshot and $132.38 in another, while the market value sat at $15.36 billion on the same day. The shares therefore trade below the latest mid-$140s analyst target range, but the recent numbers show a REIT still priced for steady rather than rapid growth.
