Essex Property Trust (ISIN US2971781057) stock traded at USD 270.71 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, at 10:45 a.m. ET. The price was down 0.35 percent from the previous close, placing the shares 10.76 percent below the 52-week high of USD 303.35.

Stock sits below yearly high

The session range was USD 270.27 to USD 272.11, with 54,641 shares changing hands by 10:45 a.m. ET. Essex carried a market capitalization of USD 17,396,295,365 on September 25, 2026, while its 52-week low stood at USD 238.46.

The comparison with the yearly high is the clearest near-term valuation marker: a USD 32.64 gap separates the current price from the high. The share price therefore sits materially above its yearly low while remaining below the upper end of its 52-week range.

Analysts keep target above price

MarketBeat listed a consensus Hold rating and an average 12-month price target of USD 303.04 on September 24, 2026. The target is USD 32.33 above the September 25 intraday price, giving the analyst average a separate reference point from the stock chart.

That target range also showed a broad spread, from USD 280.00 to USD 352.00, according to MarketBeat. The range matters because it places the current quote above the reported low target but below the average and high-end estimates.

West Coast apartments anchor ESS

Essex is a fully integrated residential REIT that acquires, develops, redevelops and manages apartment communities in supply-constrained markets. Its operating footprint includes Southern California, the San Francisco Bay Area and the Seattle metropolitan area, according to Essex Property Trust.

The business profile gives the stock a direct link to apartment demand, local rent conditions and financing costs. For investors, the key numerical contrast is the USD 270.71 quote against both the USD 303.35 yearly high and the USD 303.04 analyst average target.
