In other recent news, LTC Properties reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, which showed a slight miss on both earnings per share (EPS) and revenue forecasts. The company posted an EPS of $0.45, falling short of the expected $0.4567, and revenue reached $31.44 million, below the forecasted $37.3 million. Despite these shortfalls, RBC Capital Markets maintained its Sector Perform rating for LTC Properties, with a price target of $36.00, highlighting the launch of the Senior Housing Operating Portfolio (SHOP) platform as a significant development. The initiation of the SHOP platform is expected to provide a modest boost to LTC’s earnings, leading RBC to slightly raise its earnings estimates for the company. Analysts from RBC noted that while the SHOP platform launch is promising, growth for LTC’s portfolio may be more modest compared to its peers. The company’s strategic initiatives, including the SHOP launch and leadership changes, were key focal points in the earnings report. LTC Properties also provided guidance for the full year 2025, projecting Core FFO per share between $2.65 and $2.69, and Core FAD per share between $2.78 and $2.82. The company is focused on expanding its SHOP platform and anticipates improvements in occupancy rates, particularly within the Anthem portfolio.
