Track VTR free→Ventas grows senior housing investments to $3 billion in 2026. SHOP Same-Store Cash NOI rose over 15% year-over-year in Q1. Liquidity improved to $5.5 billion, supporting growth. Earnings guidance was raised to $0.59 per share for 2026.
Ventas faces leadership departures that may disrupt execution. The stock trades at a very high PE of 180.9, well above peers. Guidance is soft, and analyst estimates have been revised down recently.
The price is about 56% above our fair value near $59, reflecting high expectations. Analysts expect 16% revenue growth, but our fair value is 38% below the Street median, indicating skepticism on valuation.
Breaks if: EPS guidance falls below $0.56 for FY26
Breaks if: liquidity falls below $5 billion
