That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Equity Residential share dividends

Recently Equity Residential has paid out, on average, around 79.71% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Equity Residential shareholders could enjoy a 3.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Equity Residential's case, that would currently equate to about $2.433 per share.
Equity Residential's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Equity Residential's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 11 October 2001. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Equity Residential shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Equity Residential shares which in turn could have impacted Equity Residential's share price.
Equity Residential share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Equity Residential's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.8995 up to $93.5087. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
