Ventas
This is a top health care real estate investment trust, and it may be one of the safest plays for more conservative investors. Ventas Inc. (NYSE: VTR) operates at the intersection of two powerful and dynamic industries: health care and real estate.
Ventas uses the power of capital to unlock the value of real estate, partnering with leading care providers, developers, research and medical institutions, innovators and health care organizations whose success is buoyed by the demographic tailwind of an aging population.
For more than 20 years, Ventas has followed a successful strategy that endures: combining a high-quality diversified portfolio of properties and capital sources to manage through cycles, working with industry-leading partners and a collaborative and experienced team focused on producing consistent growing cash flows and superior returns on a strong balance sheet, ultimately rewarding Ventas shareholders.
The company’s diverse portfolio of approximately 1,200 assets consists of senior housing communities, medical office buildings, university-based research and innovation centers, inpatient rehabilitation and long-term acute care facilities, and health systems. Through its Lillibridge subsidiary, Ventas provides management, leasing, marketing, facility development and advisory services to highly rated hospitals and health systems throughout the United States.
The distribution yield is 3.62%. The Barclays price target is $65, and the consensus target is $61.15. Ventas stock closed at $49.67 on Monday.
Seven top dividend-paying companies all should be able to fight through what is almost a sure bet for stagflation in the upcoming months and in 2023. Again, do not let the massive jobs number from last week fool you, as many of the economic indicators are already turning south. The bear market rally has been a nice reprieve after months of selling, but September and October are historically difficult for stocks, and this year could be even more so.
