Omega agrees to buy MedEquities Realty Trust in a cash and stock deal worth $632 million plus assumed debt. I hope everyone had a good break these past few days.

Omega announced today that it is buying MedEquities in a stock and cash transaction valued at about $633 million plus $265 million of net debt. Shareholders are receiving a very healthy 50% premium.

Senior Care Stocks Swoon….Again

Senior Care Stocks Swoon….Again

by | Jan 3, 2018 7:02 am | 60 Seconds, Opinion

The 2017 Trump rally has left senior care and healthcare REIT stocks behind. It looks like the so-called Trump stock market rally is continuing into 2018. Weirdly, several senior care stocks shot up in the first day of trading yesterday. Where were investors last year? Unfortunately, 2017 was about as bad as it gets for our sector. Only one company posted an increase in price, and that was Kindred Healthcare, which is actually exiting our sector with its last sales of its SNFs. So, everyone else declined, and almost all of them by double digits, in a year when the rest of the market posted extraordinary returns. The NASDAQ Composite was up 28.2%, the Dow was up 25.1% and the S&P 500... Read More »

A new public REIT

by | Sep 29, 2016 2:39 pm | Opinion

We have a new publicly traded healthcare REIT. MedEquities Realty Trust priced its 19.9 million share IPO at $12.00 per share, which was at the low end of the potential range of $12.00 to $14.00 per share. It opened at a slight discount of $11.50 per share yesterday in a day that the overall market tanked. The company invests in skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, LTACs and other healthcare real estate properties. It may be small now, but we are sure it will be out there scouting new acquisitions. The new shareholders are counting on it. FBR, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Raymond James and RBC Capital Markets served as joint book-running managers Read More »
