DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UDR, Inc. (NYSE: UDR), a leading multifamily real estate investment trust, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized increasing its share repurchase program by 25 million shares, effective immediately. This increase gives the Company the ability to repurchase a total of approximately 30 million shares, which equates to more than $1 billion at current share price levels. Share repurchases under this program may be made from time to time in open-market pu.

U.S. equity markets advanced for a fifth straight week - their longest winning streak since 2024 - as strong earnings, resilient data, and hopes for lasting Iran peace fueled optimism. Investors looked through another oil-price surge and inflationary pressure, focusing instead on corporate resilience and economic strength despite a complex macro backdrop shaped by geopolitical and policy uncertainty. The Fed held rates steady in an unusually fractured 8-4 vote, while Powell's plan to remain on the Board broke precedent and raised politically charged succession questions.

UDR remains a "Hold," with shares underperforming due to weak rent trends and sector sentiment despite its legacy market focus. Q1 results were stable: FFO of $0.62 met expectations, revenue grew 1%, and occupancy stayed healthy at 96.6%. Management reaffirmed 2024 FFO guidance of $2.47–$2.57; dividend coverage is strong at ~1.45x, with a 4.8% yield and monthly payouts.

UDR posts in-line Q1 FFOA as rent gains are offset by rising costs, while buybacks, asset sales and a shift to monthly dividends reshape its 2026 outlook.

The headline numbers for UDR (UDR) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended March 2026, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.
