Target Healthcare REIT reported a 1.4% rise in EPRA Net Tangible Assets per share to 119.4p as at 31 December 2025, with a twelfth consecutive quarter of positive total returns driven by active portfolio recycling and inflation-linked rent reviews. The company completed the sale of nine care homes for £85.9m at an 11.6% premium to June 2025 carrying value and disposed of an additional asset at a similar premium, while redeploying more than half the proceeds into three modern, operational care homes in central Scotland and a forward-funded fourth asset, all at blended net initial yields above 6%. The portfolio now comprises 86 operational homes valued at £894.6m, with 99% rent collection, average rent cover of 2.0x on mature assets, a WAULT of 26.3 years, and 100% of properties rated EPC A or B, underscoring resilient cash flows and strong ESG credentials. Adjusted EPRA EPS was 1.69p for the quarter, fully covering the 1.508p dividend, and net LTV fell to 15.2% as proceeds are progressively redeployed, with around £100m of capital available and a growing pipeline of higher-yielding, purpose-built care home investments that are expected to lift leverage towards the 25% area.
