Omega Beats Estimates
Omega Healthcare Investors released its second quarter results, beating estimates and demonstrating resilience amid the bankruptcy of Genesis Healthcare, one of the largest skilled nursing operators in the country.

Thank You Ortelius?
Brookdale Senior Living just reported June occupancy, and the increases were much better than we expected for a second quarter, which historically has been a mixed bag for the industry. Let’s just say, we were impressed. June’s same-community weighted average occupancy was 81.1%, up 220 basis points year over year and up 50 basis points sequentially. Month-end same community occupancy increased sequentially by 70 basis points to 82.8%. Occupancy levels have been steadily increasing since January, which is great for the company and shareholders. This is all happening before the third quarter, which historically has always been the best period for census gains. While shareholders should be... Read More »Schedule a demo
