If you believe CPT multiple gap is genuine and CPT's high multiples reflect sustainable sector re-rating, then buy AVB because the P/E-based implied price ($552.57) implies ~211% upside while AVB demonstrates stronger margins (net margin 37.1%) and lower net leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA 3.4x) versus CPT.
CPT-implied P/E multiple produces an implied AVB price of $552.57 (211% upside from $177.68), driven by a large P/E gap: AVB 23.4x vs CPT 72.7x. AVB's current price sits well within its historical band ($159.91–$195.45), near the midpoint, implying the market has not re-rated AVB toward CPT multiple. Extreme CPT valuation metrics (P/S and EV/Revenue) likely inflate the implied range and create substantial dispersion.
