Bullish Move by Welltower
Welltower has been a growth and M&A machine under the leadership of Shankh Mitra. As of October 27, the REIT has closed or has under contract close to $14 billion of pro rata gross investments across the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom this year. These include more than 700 seniors housing properties with more than 46,000 units. Not too shabby. We have covered some of these transactions in other stories, but what really caught our eye was the announcement that Mitra and four other key executives are going to put their future compensation where their strategy is, or something like that. They are “all-in” on increasing shareholder value, which is a good thing, as long as no corners... Read More »
