Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on Ventas (NYSE:VTR) with an Overweight rating and a $77.00 price target, representing 11.6% upside from current levels. The stock, currently trading near its 52-week high of $71.36, has delivered a solid YTD return of 21.45%. According to InvestingPro analysis, Ventas is currently trading above its Fair Value.
The research firm based its positive outlook on Ventas’s strong position in the Senior Housing sector, particularly its Senior Housing Operating Properties (SHOP) segment, which combines internal and external growth potential with post-pandemic occupancy recovery.
Cantor Fitzgerald highlighted demographic tailwinds from an aging population as a key advantage for Ventas, noting the company isn’t constrained by reimbursement regulation growth ceilings that affect other healthcare real estate segments.
The firm pointed to Ventas’s mid-teens same-store NOI growth in its SHOP portfolio as evidence of strong performance in this segment.
Ventas plans to complete $2 billion of SHOP investments during 2025, which Cantor Fitzgerald characterized as "a less-expensive alternative versus WELL to gain access to a large SHOP exposure."
