Brookdale’s Operations Improve While NOI and Margins Lag
Following the preliminary results announcement after the January 28 close, Brookdale Senior Living’s stock spiked 11.5% on January 29. Investors cheered the upbeat early numbers, but the mood shifted once the official quarterly and full-year results came out February 18 after the bell.
