Description: SUI Sun Communities January 03, 2026
Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE:SUI) is a fully integrated REIT that was founded in 1975 and went public in December 1993. By the end of Q3 2025 the company owned, operated, or held interests in 501 manufactured-home (MH), recreational-vehicle (RV), and United-Kingdom (UK) communities, representing roughly 174,680 developed sites across the United States, Canada, and the U.K.
Key operating metrics that analysts watch include a 96.5% occupancy rate across its U.S. MH portfolio in FY 2024, an average rent-per-site growth of 4.2% YoY, and a 2024 adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) of $1.23 billion, supporting a dividend yield of about 5.4%. The sector’s performance is heavily influenced by demographic trends such as the aging-baby-boomer cohort seeking downsized, affordable housing, and by macro-factors like prevailing interest-rate levels, which affect both home-buyer financing and the cost of REIT capital.
