What this transaction means for investors
Demographic tailwinds are no longer theoretical for healthcare landlords. They are showing up in the numbers.
American Healthcare REIT delivered 16.4% same-store NOI growth in the third quarter, driven by 25.3% growth in senior housing operating properties and 21.7% in its integrated senior health campuses segment. GAAP net income attributable to controlling interest reached $55.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, while normalized FFO came in at $0.44 per share. Meanwhile, management raised full-year NFFO guidance to a range of $1.69 to $1.72 and lifted total portfolio same-store NOI growth expectations to as high as 15%.
Within a portfolio that also includes broad exposure to industrials, autos, and mega-cap tech, a modest 1.02% allocation reads as a measured way to tap healthcare real estate momentum. For long-term investors, the thesis rests on sustained occupancy gains above 90% in senior housing and disciplined capital allocation, not just a 93% one-year stock run.
