NHI Raises Guidance in Q1 Earnings Report
National Health Investors came out with its first quarter earnings and reported modest improvements in several financial metrics from the year-ago quarter.

Ventas Posts Decent Q1 Earnings
Ventas came out with its first quarter earnings at the end of April, and although the results were decent, it may not have been the best timing to follow the strong quarter posted by Welltower earlier this week, as Ventas’s stock price tumbled 6.4% seemingly because the REIT affirmed its full-year guidance rather than increased it.

60 Seconds with Swett: Welltower Is on a Roll
Welltower came out with its first quarter earnings on Tuesday, and surprise, surprise, it was yet another great quarter, and its share price jumped 3.5% immediately upon the news.

Also, that issue currently plagues thousands of communities in this country and was prevalent in the years before COVID too. Perhaps that is why most of what we hear from... Read More »
60 Seconds with Swett: April Already Passes 50 Transactions
Tariff turmoil? Volatile and still-high interest rates? Uncertainty surrounding Medicaid spending, labor costs and HUD’s queue length? Seniors housing and care dealmakers have looked past a lot of this noise to announce 50 transactions in the first three weeks of the second quarter, putting the market on track for the busiest M&A period ever. We know we sound like a broken record, but the start of April did feel like we reached a new level of activity, and given the conversations we’ve been having in the last few weeks, the second and third quarters may only accelerate in deal volume. For some sellers, seeing through the January 2025 rate increases was enough to enter the transaction... Read More »
