Earnings Summary
Camden Property Trust is a real estate investment trust focused on the multifamily apartment sector in the United States, owning and managing 174 properties with 59,416 homes and expanding to 177 properties and 60,578 homes. The REIT operates in a sector characterized by steady rental income and long‑term lease structures, with performance often tied to occupancy rates and operating efficiencies. In the most recent quarters, the company posted revenue of $390.79 million in Q4 2025 and $388.77 million in Q1 2026, a slight decline from the $396.51 million in Q2 2025 but an increase from the $386.32 million in Q4 2024, indicating a modest revenue cycle with a small acceleration in Q1 2026. EPS, however, showed a dramatic shift: Q4 2025 EPS of $1.76 far exceeded the $0.37 estimate, and Q1 2026 EPS of $1.70 beat the $0.28 estimate, while Q2 2026 EPS of $1.68 surpassed the $0.21 estimate. This pattern of large EPS beats in the most recent two quarters contrasts with the earlier quarters where EPS was below estimates, suggesting a recent earnings turnaround. Historically, the REIT has experienced mixed earnings trends; for example, Q3 2025 EPS of $0.214 fell short of the $0.279 estimate, yet revenue remained relatively flat at $395.68 million, showing that revenue growth has been steady while earnings have fluctuated. The company’s earnings volatility has drawn analyst attention, with Truist lowering its price target to $108 from $123 in late September, citing concerns over cash flow sustainability amid capital expenditures. Key will be management’s discussion of occupancy trends, debt servicing, and any new development projects that could impact future cash flows.

51%

Camden Property Trust is currently running 15.4% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CPT's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 30th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 18.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

CPT is trading -45.0% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -14.4%, and the deepest was -42.7% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -7.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 17th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year CPT closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 5 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, CPT finished the month higher 6 of 14 times, with a median return of -0.4% and an average of -0.2%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +2.3% on average, its weakest September at -3.4%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CPT has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 76 of 3,268 sessions (2.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.3% and -10.2%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, CPT moved an average of 1.2% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -0.5% and a largest of -2.6%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CPT's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
