LTC Properties

LTC Properties acquires four senior living communities totaling 453 units in Minnesota for $200 million; Lifespark Senior Living will operate the properties. The company expects an initial yield of about 7% and an unlevered IRR in the low- to mid‑teens. The acquisition was funded with $167 million from the sale of 13 nursing homes in Texas and drawing on the revolver; since May 2025 LTC has expanded its portfolio via the SHOP platform from 13 to 43 properties and has made purchases this year totaling nearly $580 million, with a further $120 million anticipated. » More on de.investing.com

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
