CARE REIT
STRONG Q324 AND ACCRETIVE GROWTH
Care REIT (Care), formerly Impact Healthcare REIT, and its tenants continued to perform strongly in Q324. The quarterly EPRA net tangible assets (NTA) return of 2.1% took the year-to-date total to 7.8%, while rent cover increased to 2.3x. Care is well on track to meet its FY24 DPS target of 6.95p (+2.7%), fully covered by adjusted ‘cash’ earnings, with a yield of 8.3%. The company has also announced two new investments, including forward funding the development of a new, high-quality home, at an accretive blended yield in excess of 8% with strong valuation potential.
