Raymond James upgraded Essex Property Trust to Outperform from Market Perform with a $265 price target. The analyst cites the “surprisingly strong” year-to-date demand trends in several West Coast markets for the upgrade. After several years of deteriorating quality-of-life and safety issues, coupled with workforces highly resistant to return-to-office mandates, the firm’s pricing data is indicating significant year-to-date outperformance from the three major West Coast tech markets of San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
