This covers all Brookdale Senior Living news and updates.
Seniors housing and care stocks remain in the dumps. There has been no Trump bump for them, as the rest of the market is up 16% since the beginning of this year. We should be only half as lucky. One would think that the skilled nursing dominated companies would have been the hardest hit, given […]
Recent bad news had no impact on Brookdale Senior Living’s share price, leading me to believe that bottom may have been hit. Is now the time to finally invest in Brookdale Senior Living’s stock? This week, the company announced that it will take an EBITDA hit to 2017 earnings of up to $13 million as […]
Although Diversicare Health and a few others may disagree, it is not always a bad thing to have an activist shareholder or two as investors in your company. They can keep you on your toes, force you to look at options to enhance value that you may not be considering, and their actions often result […]
After the announcement of Sabra Health Care REIT’s 49% investment in the majority of Enlivant’s assisted living properties at a value of $195,000 per unit, the market chatter started anew.

Why do investors, lenders and analysts focus so much on occupancy in seniors housing? Operating margin became much less important over the years compared with the absolute level of cash flow earned. This makes sense since a property’s value is derived from the cash flow, not the margin, and increased value from increased cash flow, […]
Brookdale Senior Living remains in a rut, and the Chinese option may be disappearing. For some reason, Brookdale Senior Living has kept out of the news recently, which is a good thing. What’s not so good is that its share price continues to be stuck in a rut. What also is not so good is […]
NIC announced their second quarter occupancy and development trends, and unfortunately it was not pretty. After a first quarter which suffered from the ubiquitous flu season census declines, we had expected, at worst, a small sequential decline in the second quarter, but perhaps a small 10 to 20 basis point uptick, maybe even better. For […]
