Is VTR better than the real estate sector?
Chicago-based Ventas, Inc. with a market capitalization of $28.3 billion. (VTR) is a high-ranking healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT) Titan. With a vast portfolio of over 1,000 real estate in the US, Canada and the UK, it is strategically rooted in the aging wave. From senior living communities to cutting-edge life science hubs, medical office buildings and care facilities, Ventus not only leasing space, but also enables healthcare infrastructure to ensure that population age and wellness real estate demands thrive around the world.
Over $10 billion companies have won “large” badges, and Ventas easily fits the bill. That rise comes from sharp execution, resilient cash flow and data-driven asset strategies. Fixed in demographic tailbone and health care demands, Ventus creates space for longevity to flourish, making it a strategic material as well as increasing its size.
Ventas stock touched on April 3rd at a 52-week peak of $71.36, a slippery slope that fell 12.1% from its peak. In the past three months alone, VTR has dropped out of 8% and has not performed badly on the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLRE).
However, in the long term, VTR stocks have risen 24.8% over the past 52 weeks, with 8.7% of XLRE outpacing returns over the past year.
The Ventas cruises above the 50- and 200-day moving averages, but in May the story was turned over. It first slid downwards for 50 days, then for 200 days, showing a change in momentum. With the construction of bear pressure, the VTR stock drifts down both lines, suggesting that the Bulls lose grip, quietly elucidating the strength of the trend.
Ventas is behind the REIT peers as they have too much debt, too much acquisitions and the Covid-sm destroyed senior housing sector has a significant fumble.
However, even after bruises, it has also produced double-digit returns over the past year, surpassing most REITs. This is because it ultimately synchronizes its strategy with the Goldmine of the demographic – 65 10,000 boomers hit each day. By reducing non-core assets, reducing debt and upgrading facilities, Ventas is beginning to coincide with the aging wave. With growing demand for inflation-friendly leases and healthcare, Ventus has finally achieved its position.
