Equity Lifestyle Properties is an integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (Properties) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (MH) and recreational vehicle (RV) communities and marinas. Co. has a business model where it owns the land which it leases to customers who own MH and cottages, RVs and/or boats either on a long-term or short-term basis. Co.'s customers may lease individual developed areas or enter into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays. Co. also has marinas that provide boat slip and dry storage rentals. The ELS stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the ELS stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2022 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the ELS annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
