Optimism Prevails Around Invitation Homes (INVH) Despite SFH Policy Revision Concerns

Invitation Homes (NYSE:INVH) is one of the most favored real estate investment trusts according to Hedge Funds.

On January 14, Nicholas Yulico from Scotiabank maintained his Sector Perform rating for Invitation Homes (NYSE:INVH). Although he lowered his price target forecast from $31 to $28, Yulico expects a favorable sentiment towards multifamily and self-storage REITs. His predictions are based on Scotiabank’s broader outlook for the U.S. Real Estate & REITs segment, which is linked to the upcoming fourth-quarter results.

On January 12, KeyBanc analyst Austin Wurschmidt maintained an Overweight rating for Invitation Homes (NYSE:INVH). His continued optimism stands despite recent concerns regarding President Trump’s intentions to ban institutions from making acquisitions of single-family homes.

The analyst pointed out that such a government policy would adversely affect single-family residential REITs, including Invitation Homes (NYSE:INVH). However, he anticipates limited impact from any such developments in the near to intermediate term, given very minute investments planned for owner-occupied homes.

Invitation Homes (NYSE:INVH) is the United States’ largest single-family home leasing and management company. Catering to a growing rental housing demand with a focus on convenience, it offers access to areas that are located near major employment hubs, commercial centers, and educational institutions. The company leverages Smart Home technology and AI capabilities for its resident services portals.
