Barry Oxford has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the potential growth and stability of Strawberry Fields REIT Inc. The company’s strategic acquisition of nine facilities in Missouri, which is expected to close in 2025, is a significant move that adds 686 licensed beds to its portfolio. This acquisition is structured with long-term leases that include annual rent increases, which is likely to enhance the company’s revenue streams in the coming years.
Another reason for the Buy rating is the favorable demographic trends in the United States, which support the skilled nursing home sector as a promising long-term investment. Additionally, Strawberry Fields REIT is trading at a lower multiple compared to the broader healthcare sector, indicating potential undervaluation. The company’s solid balance sheet, characterized by a reasonable debt-to-market capitalization ratio and diversified debt sources, further strengthens its financial position. These factors, combined with a projected total return of 25.6%, make Strawberry Fields REIT an attractive investment opportunity.
In another report released today, Lake Street also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $13.50 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 16 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of STRW in relation to earlier this year.
