Stock values still hitting lows, but not cheap enough for big buyers to come in. I am not sure if you have been following it, but Capital Senior Living’s share price just hit a new low yesterday. In fact, the market value of the company is just $110 million. Think about it, some individual assets […]
As we head to the end of the first quarter, seniors housing and care M&A activity may reach 100 transactions for the fourth consecutive quarter. I should no longer be amazed by how strong the seniors housing and care M&A market remains, given all the headwinds we hear about all the time. From the public […]
After plunging to a low of $3.82 per share after fourth quarter earnings were released, shares of Capital Senior Living are showing some bounce. We are sure the market has noticed that the C-Suite has been buying. The price is now up 26% in less than a week. Timing is everything, and the CEO added […]
