Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.
ELSEquity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. is coiled. The quarters are improving, yet the P/E sits at the 9th percentile of its own 4-year range — the business is moving before the market.
Biggest watch item: margins are the best this company has ever printed — every ratio flatters at record profitability, so the whole story leans on margins holding.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (4 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 9th percentile of its own 4-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +0.0% year on year, and 155% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. trades at $64.9, in a confirmed uptrend and 4 weeks into that stage. That is +2.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 64% of a 52-week range of $60 to $68. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (2 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 4 of stage 2. At $64.9 it trades +2.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 64% of its 52-week range ($60–$68).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved +62% while the S&P 500 moved +263% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (2 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-24) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. trades at 31.3× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 9% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 36.8×, measured across 4.3 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/E of 31.3× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 9% of the time, against a long-run median of 36.8× measured over 4.3 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
One caveat before moving on: margins are the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.
Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +2.6% against a +7.7% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the −2.3%/yr price move, ~+9.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−11.6 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.
Put together: the multiple is low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: Mixed Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — the growth curves are steadily positive, but ROCE at 10.6% is below the 15% bar this page requires to call it Consistent. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

4-Factor Sector Score
54.4/100 — rank 4 of 22 in REIT - Residential · 60% evidence confidence
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. scores 54.4 out of 100 against the 22 companies it is compared with in REIT - Residential, ranking 4. Strong business, demanding price: keep it on the quality list, but require either earnings upgrades or valuation compression.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 19.6 + 18.1 + 6.6 + 10.1 = 54.4. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if ROA rolls over or gross NPA rises while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. reported $0.4 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +2.6% year on year. Over 4 years it has compounded at 3.8% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.5 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.5 B.
FY25 revenue came in at $1.5 B (+0.0% on the year), capping 4 years at 3.8% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.4 B, +2.6% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +0.7% growth against the decade's 3.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +0.7% over the last 4 quarters against +1.0%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +2.6% vs +2.7%/yr — stabilising.
Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.'s operating margin is 37.5% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.6 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 28.3% to 34.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 37.5%, +1.6 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 28.3%–34.0%, and FY25's 34.0% is the top of that band — a record year.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +1.6 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.1 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. earned $0.1 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.4 B. The 4-year compound rate is 9.3%. That is 27.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.1 B.
Mar 26 profit was $0.1 B, +0.0% year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.4 B (+5.3%), and the 4-year compound rate is 9.3%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +2.6% and the margin +1.6 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +2.8% vs revenue +0.7%. Profit and revenue are moving roughly in step.
Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.
Over the last 3 fiscal years 155% of Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.6 B of operating cash against $0.4 B of profit. After $0.2 B of capital spending, $0.3 B was left as free cash.
FY25: operating cash of $0.6 B against reported profit of $0.4 B, leaving free cash of $0.3 B after $0.2 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 155% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.
Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.
Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $1.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 21.8% of FY25 revenue a year.
Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.
On the investment side: capital spending of $1.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.
The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.
Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. earns a ROE of 22% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 19% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −0.3 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 26.1% net margin on 0.27× asset turns.
FY25 ROE is 22%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 19% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 26.1% net margin × 0.27× asset turns × 3.18× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 22.4% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 6.7% − 7.0% = a −0.3 pp spread. The 7.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.
Dividend A dividend is cash paid out per share. Dividend per share is the declared amount for the period; the trailing twelve-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. paid $2.09 per share over the last four reported quarters, up 5.3% on a year ago. The most recent declaration was $0.54 for Mar 26. Against the current price of $64.9 that is a trailing yield of 3.22%, measured on dividends already paid rather than on a forecast.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. paid $2.09 per share across the last four reported quarters, most recently $0.54 for Mar 26. That is up 5.3% against the same quarter a year earlier. Against the current price of $64.9 the trailing twelve months work out to 3.22% — trailing dividends measured against today's price, not a forward estimate.
Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. carries total debt of $3.3 B against shareholder equity of $1.8 B as of Jun 26, a debt-to-equity of 1.82. On the annual view that ratio went from 2.19 in FY21 to 1.83 in FY25. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Jun 26: total debt of $3.3 B against shareholder equity of $1.8 B — a debt-to-equity of 1.82. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 2.19 (FY21) to 1.83 (FY25). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.
4.0% of Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 5.0 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.
The latest reading: 4.0% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 5.0 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.
Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
