Frequently asked questions
What is Essex Property Trust Inc's revenue?
Essex Property Trust Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.97B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is ESS?
In its most recent fiscal year, ESS ran a gross margin of 68.82%, an operating margin of 43.88%, and a net margin of 35.38%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does ESS generate?
ESS produced $934.08M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is ESS's balance sheet healthy?
ESS holds $85.59M in cash and equivalents against $6.80B in long-term debt, on $5.54B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
