AREStock and Options Trade Setup — Alexandria Real Estate Equities
NYSE · REIT (Life Science & Lab Office) · Moderate-liquidity options · Mid-large cap · ~$20B
Alexandria owns the highest-quality, most irreplaceable life-science real estate in the U.S., concentrated in the three biotech ecosystems where venture capital, talent, and academic anchor institutions cluster. Its tenant base skews toward investment-grade pharma and large-cap biotech (Moderna, Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers, Vertex), providing high credit quality and lease durations averaging 7-8 years. After a deep multiple compression cycle (2022-2025) driven by rising rates and biotech funding drought, the setup has improved as biotech IPOs reopened, venture funding stabilised, and rate expectations softened. Same-store NOI has held positive throughout the cycle, validating the moat. The dividend is well-covered with reasonable AFFO payout ratios, and the development pipeline has been right-sized to reduce capex risk. Options liquidity is moderate; medium-duration directional plays around rate-cut catalysts or biotech sector rotations have worked best.

ARE Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is ARE a good options trade today?+
Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 64/100, ranking it top 36% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is ARE's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
ARE's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 60%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past ARE trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for ARE?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the ARE setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh ARE's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If ARE drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for ARE?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to ARE: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is ARE outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. ARE currently scores 64.
How does ARE compare to other REIT (Life Science & Lab Office) setups?+
ARE's sector rank and percentile against other REIT (Life Science & Lab Office) tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related REIT (Life Science & Lab Office) Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
