American Healthcare REIT price target raised to $37 from $30 at Citi

Citi maintained its Neutral rating on American Healthcare REIT , Inc (NYSE:AHR) on Monday while raising its price target to $37.00 from $30.00. The stock, currently trading at $35.40, sits near its 52-week high of $36.33 and has delivered an impressive 151% return over the past year, according to InvestingPro data.

The research firm increased its 2025 funds from operations (FFO) estimate for the healthcare real estate investment trust from $1.58 to $1.63 per share. Citi also revised its 2026 FFO projection upward from $1.79 to $1.83.

The new price target represents approximately 24 times the firm’s 2026 adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) estimate, reflecting a higher multiple applied to the increased forecast.

Citi cited several factors supporting the higher valuation, including continued demand tailwinds in the healthcare property sector and limited new supply entering the market.
