Valuing Equity Residential stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Equity Residential's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Equity Residential's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Equity Residential shares trade at around 21x recent earnings.
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's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.3147. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Equity Residential's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Equity Residential's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.5 billion.

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.

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.
