Shares of Apartment Investment & Management Company (AIV), also known as Aimco, surged 6.88% in Tuesday trading following a series of significant announcements that have reshaped the company's future outlook. The real estate investment trust, which focuses on apartment communities, unveiled plans for liquidation alongside strong third-quarter results, driving investor enthusiasm.
In a pivotal move, Aimco announced the conclusion of its strategic review process, with the board unanimously deciding to seek shareholder approval for a plan of sale and liquidation in early 2026. The company estimates that this process could result in total per-share distributions between $5.75 and $7.10, potentially unlocking significant value for shareholders. This decision comes after exploring various alternatives, including the potential sale of the entire company or major components of the business.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Aimco reported impressive third-quarter 2025 results. The company posted a net income of $2.04 per diluted share, a substantial turnaround from a loss of $0.16 per share in the same period last year. While revenue slightly decreased to $35.1 million from $35.3 million year-over-year, the strong bottom-line performance and the company's forward-looking strategies have clearly resonated with investors. Furthermore, Aimco provided an optimistic full-year earnings per share (EPS) guidance range of $4.75 to $4.95, underlining confidence in its near-term operational performance.
