What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of SUI's valuation, growth and risks.
SUI carries a trailing P/E of 86.50, which is 93.5% above the Real Estate median of 44.7. The Peer Benchmarking card labels this a premium to peers. Measured against sales, the P/S of 6.28 sits 39.6% below the sector median of 10.4. The company's market value stands at $14.9B.
In the latest year revenue grew 0.20%, 10.8 percentage points slower than the sector median of 11.0%. Profitability shows a net margin of 5.85% and an operating margin of 23.21%, with a return on equity of 1.72%, below the sector median of 5.8%. Debt-to-equity of 0.73 and a trailing dividend yield of 3.73% ($4.40 a share a year) round out the fundamentals.
Results released on July 27, 2026 topped forecasts, with EPS of $0.69 versus an estimate of $0.48, a beat of 43.75%. Investors responded positively, and the stock rose 2.18% in the next session.
The earnings record shows 3 beats in 7 reports, and the stock rose in the first session after each of those beats. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $2.33 this fiscal year (a decline of 43.1%) and $3.20 the year after (growth of 37.3%).
Valuation leaves less margin for error: the P/E of 86.50 is 93.5% above the sector median, a premium to peers on the Peer Benchmarking card. Day-to-day volatility is the first thing to plan around: SUI has moved 1.20% on an average session. Over the last 18 months, insider sales totalled $27.7M against $432K of purchases; planned sales and tax sales on vesting shares make selling a weaker signal than buying.

CleaRank AI analysis of SUI
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Sun Communities, Inc. (SUI) is trading between its two moving averages. At $118.08, the stock sits 4.64% below its 200-day average of $123.83 but 0.96% above its 50-day average of $116.96. The price is 7.57% above the 52-week low of $109.77, placing it at 30% of its 52-week range. Because the 50-day average is 5.55% below the 200-day average, the longer-term picture has not yet turned higher, even though the price has climbed back above the shorter average.
Recent gains sit against a weaker longer record: the price rose 2.78% over the past month, fell 2.78% over the past three months and fell 4.54% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 61.7, in the bullish zone, below the overbought line, although the MACD line is negative, which pulls the other way.

- The two closest levels matter most: the 200-day SMA at $123.83 sits above the price, and the 50-day SMA at $116.96 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 61.7, in the bullish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- SUI's share price climbed 2.18% in the first session after the July 27, 2026 report. Over the last 7 reports, the company beat estimates in 3.
SUI sits in a mixed trend. Its price is above the 50-day average of $116.96 but below the 200-day average of $123.83. If the price closes above the 200-day, both signals would point up; if it closes below the 50-day, both would point down. For now the price is wedged between the 50-day SMA at $116.96 underneath and the 200-day SMA at $123.83 overhead.

Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in SUI, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in SUI today could grow to about $16,611 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $47,667 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $5,789. The simulation models price only; at today's 3.73% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
SUI Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $145 for SUI by 2030 in the base case, from $118 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $74.27. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on SUI's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
