" (7/21/2017)
• 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "We believe the highlight of ACC’s quarter was the guidance that 2017 NOI growth would be in the upper end of a relatively high (for student housing) NOI growth range. The guidance came in at +3.6% to +5.3%, expected to be driven by revenue growth of 2.6% to 3.4% and expense growth of 1.0% to 1.5%. This notably exceeds the conventional multifamily sector average of 175 bps on NOI. While no new ACE deals were announced, the company specified the timing and amount of one on- campus deal, and it announced two off-campus development deals for $87 million. Further, ACC put up what we view as strong same-community preleasing results (+70 bps YOY)." (2/22/2017)
