If you believe VTR’s higher growth can translate into a much faster expansion in profitability and cash flow than the current margins and leverage suggest, then hold or accumulate selectively; otherwise, the relative valuation argues for caution because VTR trades well above EQR on P/E and EV/EBITDA while carrying more debt.
VTR trades at a very large premium on earnings-based valuation, with a P/E of 173.2x versus EQR at 22.6x, which helps explain the model’s severe downside to the implied price. The discount is not supported by a clearly superior balance sheet or profitability profile, since VTR also carries higher leverage.
