Juan C. Sanabria has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Healthcare Realty Trust’s current financial outlook. The company reported a strong leasing momentum with a record number of new leases, which suggests a positive operational trajectory. However, the financial performance showed mixed results; while the Funds from Operations (FFO) exceeded expectations, the Funds Available for Distribution (FAD) fell short, indicating some underlying financial challenges.
Additionally, the 2025 guidance was set slightly below market expectations, partly due to asset sales planned to manage debt levels. Despite these efforts, the dividend payout remains high, and there is no update on the ongoing CEO search. These mixed signals—positive leasing activity but cautious financial guidance—have led to the Hold rating as the future performance may not fully meet investor expectations.

According to TipRanks, C. Sanabria is a 2-star analyst with an average return of -0.3% and a 44.26% success rate. C. Sanabria covers the Real Estate sector, focusing on stocks such as Brixmor Property, Healthpeak Properties, and Welltower.
