With a value score of 31/100, ARE appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 16.18x, a P/B ratio of 0.49x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.

Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -1.9% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of -0.0% (sector: 1.3%).

Revenue growth stands at -1.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.80 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.
ARE's stability score of 30/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.80 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 65.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 53/100 for ARE suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 65.00x). With a $14.4B market cap (large-cap), ALEXANDRIA REAL ESTATE EQUITIES, INC. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
