The last company in our sector, Sonida Senior Living, finally reported fourth quarter and full-year 2023 earnings, and while pretty good, that was not even the story. The story started four weeks ago. In February, the company announced a series of capital transactions which reduced their debt, raised some equity, and provided liquidity to take the company on to the next stage.

And a year ago, there was a question as to how long the company would stay afloat. In January, the share price averaged between $8 and $9, increasing to a range of... Read More »
