LTC Properties said it is accelerating its transition to seniors housing operating properties (SHOP), raising 2026 SHOP acquisition guidance to $900 million at the midpoint and expecting SHOP to account for about 40% of pro forma NOI by September and 50% by year-end. The company increased 2026 dispositions and loan-payoff guidance to $730 million, including a projected $180 million Prestige loan payoff, to fund higher-growth SHOP investments and reduce skilled nursing exposure. Q2 core FFO was $0.68 per share and management narrowed 2026 guidance to $2.76–$2.78 of core FFO and $2.83–$2.85 of core FAD, while expanding its credit facility to $900 million and pre-funding acquisitions via an ATM program. LTC expects SHOP to potentially comprise 75% of annualized NOI by 2028 as it redeploys capital into stabilized, higher-return seniors housing assets. » More on finance.yahoo.com
