ACC - American Campus Communities' Rebound Is Fully Priced In But The Looming Enrollment Cliff Is Not
- ACC is enjoying a strong rebound from the ravages of COVID-19 and online classes.
- The student housing REIT expects to see a full recovery in occupancy in the Fall of 2022.
- But investors should weigh present strength against a probable future higher ed enrollment cliff. It's a matter of simple demographics.
- Moreover, damaged relations with China, the largest "importer" of foreign students to US universities, seems to have triggered a sea change in the Chinese attitude about obtaining an American education.
- I give my argument for why ACC's valuation is too rich given the headwinds it will eventually face.
