Description: IRT Independence Realty Trust January 10, 2026

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: IRT) is an S&P 400 mid-cap REIT that owns and operates multifamily communities primarily in non-gateway U.S. markets, targeting sub-markets with strong employment centers, good schools, and quality retail amenities.

Key operating metrics as of Q4 2024 show an occupancy rate of roughly 95 % and an average rent growth of about 5 % year-over-year, while funds from operations (FFO) grew 6 % YoY, supporting a dividend yield near 5.2 % and a payout ratio of ~80 %.

Sector-level drivers include continued demographic migration to secondary cities, a modest but rising supply pipeline of new units (≈2 % net new inventory annually), and sensitivity to interest-rate movements-higher rates can pressure cap rates and borrowing costs, but also improve the REIT’s leverage profile if managed prudently.
