How does Aimco's Q2 2025 net loss per share compare to the same quarter last year and to analyst expectations?

Comparison of the loss per share

  • Q2 2025: Aimco reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $0.12 per share.
  • Q2 2024: The same quarter a year earlier generated a $0.08 loss per share, meaning the loss has widened by 50 bps (≈ 62 %) year‑over‑year.
  • Analyst consensus: The Street had been looking for a modest profit, with the median estimate of $0.05 earnings per share (a small upside to the prior year’s loss). Aimco’s actual result therefore missed expectations by $0.17 per share (a 237 % upside‑to‑down deviation from the consensus).

Trading implications

The surprise‑loss deepens the gap between the company’s fundamentals and market expectations, prompting a downward pressure on the stock. The 2025 loss reflects higher vacancy and cost‑inflation pressures that the market has already priced in, as evidenced by the negative‑sentiment rating (‑40) and the recent slide in Aimco’s price‑to‑earnings (P/E) multiples. From a technical standpoint, the share has broken below its 20‑day moving average and is testing the $30‑$32 support zone—levels that have held since the start of the year. A breach below $30 could open the door to a short‑cover rally toward the $27‑$28 range, while a bounce back above $32 with volume would suggest a short‑cover bounce and a possible short‑term reversal.

Actionable view

  • Short‑bias for the next 4‑6 weeks unless the price rebounds above the $32 resistance with a clear reversal candlestick (e.g., bullish engulfing) and volume confirmation.
  • Stop‑loss should be placed just above the recent high at $33.50 to protect against a sudden short‑cover rally.
  • If the stock fails below $30, consider adding to the short position with a tighter stop at $28.50, targeting the next technical low near $27.

Overall, the widened loss versus both the prior year and analyst forecasts underscores a fundamental drag that is likely to keep the stock on the downside until management can demonstrate a clear path to profitability or the market re‑prices the risk.
