Sabra Health Care reports Q4 FFO 37c, consensus 38c

Commenting on the fourth quarter’s results, Rick Matros, CEO and Chair, said, “We are pleased to introduce 2026 Normalized FFO and Normalized AFFO guidance at 4.9% and 5.4% year over year growth at the midpoint, respectively, building on a successful 2025. Our investment pipeline remains robust, and 2026 has gotten off to a strong start with $240 million of awarded investments, much of which should close in Q1 and early Q2. Given the promising start to the year, we expect to exceed 2025’s investment total and anticipate making skilled nursing investments in addition to our strategic focus on growing our managed senior housing portfolio. Sabra’s operational results continue to trend positively, as we have seen over the last year plus. Managed senior housing occupancy and margins continue to increase, triple-net senior housing remains stable with strong rent coverage and occupancy, and our skilled nursing portfolio’s upward trajectory in occupancy and rent coverage continues. Additionally, our top ten tenants had another strong showing. We are excited about the prospects for 2026.”
