Juan C. Sanabria has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Ventas’s strong performance in the first quarter of 2025, where the company exceeded expectations with a robust core growth. Despite maintaining its guidance, the company demonstrated solid occupancy rates and a significant year-over-year increase in SHOP-SSNOI growth. Sanabria notes that the decision to maintain guidance might be a cautious approach in light of the upcoming selling season and existing macroeconomic uncertainties. Additionally, Ventas’s normalized FFO showed a notable improvement, surpassing both consensus and BMO estimates, which further supports the positive outlook. Although the guidance for 2025 was maintained at a slightly lower level than Street expectations, the company’s strategic acquisitions and operational metrics suggest a promising trajectory, justifying the Buy rating.
