(5/9/2017)
• 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We believe that the combination of SBRA and CCP highlights the growing discrepancy between the public and private market value of senior housing, particularly skilled nursing, and we expect it to spark greater enthusiasm for." (5/8/2017)
• 4. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We are revising our 2017 FFO estimate to $2.36 from $2.28 and our FAD estimate to $2.20 from $2.18. We expect later disposition of GEN assets designated for sale will delay some dilution in 2017. We are introducing our 2018 estimates of $2.43 FFO and $2.28 FAD. We maintain our Hold rating, as we see the shares as fairly valued given the pressure we expect on skilled nursing and seniors housing in 2017." (2/27/2017)
• 5. Mizuho analysts commented, "Although we went into this post-4Q16 earnings note with the view the complexities facing the skilled nursing and senior housing sectors made SBRA stock (and its 10%+ return, YTD) vulnerable. However, the numbers and commentary from management ultimately keep us at Neutral. One overriding point on SNFs and senior housing triple-net: Some observers identify with the generally solid rent coverage as reason to feel good about the group. But at least in the short term, we think healthcare REITs trade more on the change in coverage, not the coverage itself -- and therein lies the risk. That said, we are raising our PT for SBRA, as described below." (2/27/2017)
