Brookdale vs Capital Senior Living
Not that there is a competition, but since the end of 2020, Capital Senior Living has outperformed Brookdale Senior Living with a price gain of 345% compared with 93% for Brookdale. It helped that Capital Senior was starting from a very low point. But for both companies that is pretty good, and both beat the overall market. They have both benefitted from the vaccine impact, with increases in leads, tours, move-ins and census. For each of the last three months, Brookdale has posted a 50-basis point increase in month-end occupancy, which is great, but will it be enough?

And spot occupancy increased from 75.3% at the end of February to 78.5% by the end of April, for a 320-basis point increase. We’re not sure if we’ve seen a steeper increase.

Looking forward, CSU will also not be encumbered by the 39... Read More »
Capital Senior Living Comes Out With Fourth Quarter Earnings
Better late than never, we suppose. On the last day of the first quarter, Capital Senior Living (CSU) came out with its fourth quarter earnings results, and the leaner (much leaner) company will hopefully be better able to navigate the numerous issues still facing it. Investors seemed somewhat optimistic, sending CSU shares up 3% in the hours immediately after the earnings call and up 12% early the next day, with the share price reaching a high of $42.00 per share on April 1. There is some reason to be optimistic. Since CSU announced it had exiting all of its triple-net leases on January 7 (which resulted in reduced lease liabilities of $265.4 million and improved...
