Brookdale Q3 Results Disappoint
Historically, and we are going back more than 12 years, the third quarter has been the best quarter of the year for occupancy increases, and usually cash flow increases based on those census jumps. This was certainly the case for Welltower and Ventas this year, the two largest owners of seniors housing communities. Unfortunately, Brookdale Senior Living, which continues to underperform the market and lags these two REITs, leaves investors disappointed and wondering what is wrong. And dare we say disillusioned with management’s forecasts, which have not panned out at all this year. Don’t get us wrong. Occupancy has increased, but not in the way investors expected, and “little” things like... Read More »
