Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Goldfarb lowered the firm’s price target on MAA (MAA) to $140 from $153 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. With Q3 halfway done, the firm’s pre-earnings views have largely been affirmed. Shopping centers firm into 2026, while Apartments confirmed the weakening fundamentals that were much discussed since late summer, causing Piper to temper its earnings outlook for 2026. Fund flows remain the central issue for the REITs as AI is consuming all the oxygen in the proverbial investment room, reminding the firm of the dot.com run up in the late 1990s, when REITs too lagged.
