Our quantitative model flags APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO with an Avoid rating, assigning a composite score of 36.4/100 and 1 out of 5 stars. Ranked #3968 of 7,333 stocks, AIV falls in the bottom tier across key factors. Historically, stocks with this profile have faced elevated risk of underperformance and capital loss.
AIV's quality score of 29/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 245.4% (sector avg: 8.9%), gross margins of 100.0% (sector avg: 76.5%), net margins of 192.5% (sector avg: 21.5%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 45/100, AIV appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 3.28x, an EV/EBITDA of 11.22x, a P/B ratio of 8.05x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO's investment score of 33/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -31.3% vs. a sector average of 10.8% and a return on assets of 12.2% (sector: 1.2%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 17/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -31.3% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.60 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
AIV's stability score of 44/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.60 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 800.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
AIV carries a short interest score of 66/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 800.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $808M market cap (small-cap), APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO offers an attractive dividend yield of 10.6%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 1.9%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO is a small-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3968 of 7,333 overall (46th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 245.4% exceeding the 8.9% sector median and operating margins of 40.3% above the 17.0% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While AIV currently exhibits a AVOID profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 30, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO (AIV) as Avoid with a composite score of 36.4/100 at a current price of $5.57. The stock falls in the bottom quintile of our universe across key quantitative factors, and the multi-factor weakness suggests a high probability of continued underperformance.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in value (45th percentile) and stability (44th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in momentum (17th percentile) and quality (29th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a No Moat rating (27/100), High uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation.
Key items to watch: momentum to confirm whether the current price trend has legs; balance sheet deleveraging progress. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 36.4/100 places it at rank #3968 in our full 7,333-stock universe. At $808M in market capitalization, APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO is a small-cap player in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate space, which limits certain scale advantages but may allow for more agile strategic execution.
Revenue contraction of -31% combined with momentum at the 17th percentile paints a cautious picture of the near-term business outlook. The market appears to be pricing in continued challenges, and a catalyst for reversal is not clearly visible from current data.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 100% (+23.5pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 40% (+23.3pp vs sector) and net margins of 192.5%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 193%. This efficient conversion suggests well-controlled operating costs and limited margin leakage between the gross and net levels.
At a current price of $5.57, APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 45/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at a P/E of 3.3x (a 73% discount to the sector median of 11.9x), EV/EBITDA of 11.2x (at a premium), P/B of 8.1x, P/S of 4.3x. The below-sector P/E suggests possible undervaluation or the market pricing in near-term headwinds.
Gross margins of 100% signal strong pricing power and brand/IP advantages — businesses with margins above 40% have historically demonstrated more resilient earnings through economic cycles.
Returns on equity of 245.4% exceed the cost of equity for most companies, indicating genuine shareholder value creation and a reinvestment engine that compounds wealth over time.
A 10.57% dividend yield provides income while you wait, and dividends historically account for a significant portion of total equity returns.
Return on assets of 12.2% indicates efficient deployment of the full asset base, not just equity capital.
The Avoid rating (composite 36.4/100) reflects multi-factor weakness, and historically, stocks in this scoring range have underperformed the market by a meaningful margin.
We assign a High uncertainty rating to APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO. Key risk factors include significant leverage (800% debt-to-equity), weak quality scores (29th percentile), low beta of 0.60 — while defensive, this may indicate limited upside participation in bull markets. The wide range of potential outcomes widens our fair value estimate and increases the possibility of permanent capital impairment. Investors considering this name should size positions accordingly and demand a meaningful margin of safety before initiating.
Specific risk factors that inform our assessment include: significant leverage (800% debt-to-equity); weak quality scores (29th percentile); low beta of 0.60 — while defensive, this may indicate limited upside participation in bull markets. Each of these factors independently widens the distribution of potential outcomes, and in combination they create a risk profile that demands careful position sizing. The stability factor at the 44th percentile and quality factor at the 29th percentile provide a quantitative summary of the overall risk landscape.
Key risk mitigants include: healthy gross margins of 100% provide a buffer against cost pressures; a 10.57% dividend yield anchors total return. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile warrants caution and disciplined position management.
We rate APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO's capital allocation as Standard. Management has shown adequate — though not exceptional — stewardship of shareholder capital. Returns on equity stand at 245.4%, and the balance sheet is managed within acceptable parameters (D/E: 800%). Exemplary allocators typically sustain ROE above 20% and D/E below 50%; APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO falls short on at least one dimension.
There is room for improvement in optimizing the capital structure or enhancing shareholder returns. The 10.57% dividend yield provides some income return, but the overall capital allocation framework would benefit from either higher reinvestment returns, improved balance sheet efficiency, or increased shareholder distributions. We will monitor for signs of strategic improvement that could warrant an upgrade.
In summary, APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO receives a Avoid rating with a composite score of 36.4/100 (rank #3968 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a No Moat (27/100, trend: stable), High uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 34/100.
Our analysis does not support a constructive view on APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO at this time. The combination of limited competitive advantages, high uncertainty, and standard capital allocation suggests unfavorable risk-reward at current levels. We recommend investors avoid new positions and existing holders consider reducing exposure.

We do not assign APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO a meaningful economic moat, scoring 27/100 on our composite assessment. The ROIC-WACC spread of -0.3% is the primary signal of economic value creation. Current fundamentals do not demonstrate the kind of durable competitive advantages — such as superior returns on invested capital, margin superiority, or reinvestment efficiency — that would protect the company from competitive erosion over the long term. The highest-scoring pillar, margin superiority, reached only 17.7/20.
The strongest moat sources are margin superiority (17.7/20) and growth durability (4.2/20). GM 100% vs sector 77%, OM 40% vs sector 17%. Rev growth -31%, 10yr history. These pillars form the core of APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO's competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (0/20) and economic value creation (1.8/20). Capital turnover 0.08x. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO's moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include gross margins of 100% providing a solid profitability foundation, operating margins of 40% reflecting effective cost management, declining revenues (-31%) that pressure the earnings outlook. The margin cascade from 100% gross to 40% operating to 192.5% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality raises some durability concerns, with the quality factor at the 29th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 100%, operating margins of 40%, net margins of 192.5%. Return metrics include ROE of 245.4% and ROA of 12.2%. Relative to the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, gross margins are 23.5 percentage points above the sector median of 77%, and ROE of 245.4% compares to a sector median of 8.9%.
The balance sheet reflects high leverage with D/E of 800%, which may limit financial flexibility, a dividend yield of 10.57%, revenue growth of -31%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting APARTMENT INVESTMENT & MANAGEMENT CO at higher leverage than the typical peer. Elevated leverage in combination with the current margin profile warrants close monitoring for any deterioration in debt-servicing capacity.
Elevated leverage (800% D/E) amplifies downside risk and limits management's financial flexibility in adverse scenarios.
Revenue decline of -31% signals business deterioration — declining revenues make it difficult to grow into the current valuation and often precede further negative revisions.
Weak momentum (17th percentile) suggests institutional selling pressure and unfavorable technical dynamics that may persist.
Below-average quality (29th percentile) raises durability concerns about the fundamental profile and increases the risk of negative earnings surprises.
