Wedbush Reiterates Outperform on LTC Properties, Maintains $40 Price Target

Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) has witnessed an extended downturn in recent weeks, but a prominent cryptocurrency analytics firm anticipated the sentiment to turn bullish for the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-inspired token.
What Happened: According to an X post on Monday, Santiment noted a substantial 36% decline in Litecoin&#8217;s market value from its April peak. Surprisingly, small traders, or wallets holding between 0.1 and 1 LTC, continued to increase during this time.
However, in a dramatic development, the total number of wallets in the aforementioned cohort plunged by 45,200, indicating that small traders were finally capitulating on the proof-of-work cryptocurrency.
&#8220;Small fish impatiently &#8216;jumping ship&#8217; is often a turnaround sign for an asset to begin turning bullish once again,&#8221; Santiment added.

Why It Matters: Forked out of Bitcoin, Litecoin was one of the earliest altcoins on the market, and is often dubbed &#8220;the silver to Bitcoin&#8217;s gold.&#8221;
Aside from Bitcoin, Litecoin is one of the few cryptocurrencies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40454074/solana-a-security-sec-concerns-reportedly-led-to-pause-in-etf-filing-process">that have evaded a &#8220;security&#8221; probe</a> by U.S. regulators. It&#8217;s also the most used cryptocurrency for payments, <a href="https://bitpay.com/stats/">according </a>to the world&#8217;s largest crypto payment service provider, BitPay.
However, these fundamental advantages have failed to significantly boost the cryptocurrency&#8217;s market valuation. As of this writing, Litecoin was one of the few billion-dollar capitalization tokens with year-to-date losses, totaling 13%.
In contrast, Bitcoin has surged 48%, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) have grown 17% and 54%, respectively.
Despite the current market downturn, Santiment&#8217;s analysis suggests that Litecoin could be on the verge of a turnaround. This could be a crucial development for investors and traders to watch in the coming weeks.
Price Action:&nbsp;Litecoin was exchanging hands at $80.97 at the time of publication, falling marginally by 0.19% in the last 24 hours, according to data&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

U.S. residential home prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-reits">accelerated in February</a>.
Prices defied the gravitational pull of high mortgage costs and surpassed analysts&#8217; expectations as reduced supply and robust economic momentum continued to drive up property valuations.
U.S. house prices saw a 1.2% month-over-month growth in February 2024, the largest increase in a single month since April 2022, significantly outpacing expectations of a 0.1% growth, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) seasonally adjusted monthly House Price Index (HPI).

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate. REITs allow individuals to invest in various types of real estate without having to directly own or manage the properties. REITs typically focus on a specific type of real estate, such as residential, commercial, or industrial, and they are required to distribute a large percentage of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends, making them attractive for income-seeking investors.
Let's take a look at two REITs with yields up to 7.1% that have been growing their dividends in recent years.

CubeSmart currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share, equating to an annualized dividend of $2.04 per share, which gives its stock a yield of about 4.4% at the time of this writing.
On top of having a high yield, CubeSmart is a dividend-growth star, as its <a href="https://investors.cubesmart.com/news--events/news-details/2023/CubeSmart-Announces-4.1-Increase-in-Quarterly-Common-Dividend/default.aspx">4.1% hike in December</a> marked the 14th consecutive year in which it has raised its annual dividend payment.

RBC Capital Reiterates Sector Perform on LTC Properties, Maintains $32 Price Target

For investors seeking a steady stream of monthly income, real estate investment trusts (REITs) that pay dividends on a monthly basis emerge as a compelling financial strategy. In this article, we unravel two REITs that pay monthly dividends and have yields of 6% or more.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">LTC Properties</h2>
LTC Properties (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTC#NYSE">LTC</a>) is a REIT that invests primarily in senior housing and healthcare properties. As of December 31, 2023, its portfolio consists of <a href="https://irp.cdn-website.com/86b996c9/files/uploaded/Q4%202023%20SUPPLEMENTAL%20OPERATING%20AND%20FINANCIAL%20DATA.pdf">202 properties</a>, including 124 assisted living facilities and 77 skilled nursing facilities, across 26 states with 29 operating partners.
LTC currently pays a monthly dividend of $0.19 per share, equating to an annualized dividend of $2.28 per share and giving its stock a yield of about 7.2% at the time of this writing. The company has also maintained this monthly rate since October 2016, making it a very reliable source of income.

Earnings Scheduled For February 15, 2024

When analysts initiate coverage on a stock, it means the analyst will begin to provide research on a stock and make investment recommendations on it for the first time. This move is important because it typically leads to an increase in trading volume and interest among investors. It can ultimately help shares of those stocks to move higher, depending upon the rating given.
Usually, the analyst will start with two or three similar stocks at one time. But every once in a while, an analyst will begin coverage on a larger group within a subsector.
This week, on January 30, 2024, was one of those instances, as ten healthcare real estate investment trusts (REITs) had coverage initiated by a single analyst, but only six of the ten were rated "Buys."&nbsp;
Sabra Health Care REIT Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBRA#NASDAQ">SBRA</a>) is an Irvine, California-based healthcare REIT that owns 410 properties across the U.S. Its portfolio consists of Senior Nursing Facilities (SNF), Senior Housing, Behavioral Health and Specialty Hospitals with eight-year weighted average lease terms (WALT). Signature Healthcare is its largest tenant, with a rent concentration of 9%.
Sabra CEO Rick Matros recently told analysts that occupancy gains and easing labor pressures are driving rent coverage higher and Medicaid reimbursements are likely to increase. Thirteen SNF and two Senior Housing facilities were sold during Q3 2023 with the net proceeds used to reduce the outstanding balance on Sabra's revolving credit facility.
On January 30, Deutsch bank analyst Omotayo Okusanya initiated coverage on Sabra Health Care with a Buy rating and announced a price target of $21. Earlier in the month, Mizuho analyst Vikram Malhotra also maintained a Buy rating on Sabra Health, while raising the target price from $15 to $17.
Sabra Health Care has a total return of -5.00% in 2024.

</ul>
Welltower Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WELL#NYSE">WELL</a>) is a Toledo, Ohio, based healthcare REIT that owns interests in housing for seniors, post-acute communities and outpatient medical properties. It does this by providing capital to the operators who run these facilities. Welltower was founded in 1970 under the original name of Health Care Fund and was incorporated as a REIT in 1985. Welltower is a member of the S&amp;P 500.
Welltower has a total portfolio of 2017 properties, consisting of Senior Housing, Outpatient Medical and Long-Term/Post-Acute care across the U.S. The average age of the facilities is 20 years.
Deutsch bank analyst Omotayo Okusanya initiated coverage on Welltower with a Buy rating and announced a $115 price target. Earlier in the month Keybanc analyst Todd Thomas had maintained an overweight rating while raising the price target from $90 to $95.
Welltower was one of the 15 best-performing REITs of 2023, with a total return of 39.64%, but thus far in 2024 the total return is -3.40%.
Ventas Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTR#NYSE">VTR</a>) is a Chicago-based diversified healthcare REIT with approximately 1,400 properties that include senior living communities, life science, research and innovation properties, medical office buildings, outpatient facilities and skilled nursing facilities. Ventas has been in business for over 20 years and is a member of the S&amp;P 500.
Deutsch bank analyst Omotayo Okusanya initiated coverage on Ventas with a Buy rating and announced a price target of $60. On January 16, 2023, Bank of America Securities analyst Joshua Dennerlein upgraded Ventas from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target from $48 to $53.
Ventas has a total return of -4.90% in 2024.
National Health Investors Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NHI#NYSE">NHI</a>) is a Murfreesboro, Tennessee-based healthcare REIT that specializes in sale-leaseback, joint-venture, mortgage and mezzanine financing of senior housing and medical investments. Its portfolio of 192 properties consists of independent living, assisted living, memory care communities, skilled nursing facilities, medical office buildings and specialty hospitals. National Health Investors was incorporated in 1991.
Deutsch bank analyst Omotayo Okusanya initiated coverage on National Health Investors with a Buy rating and announced a price target of $6.
National Health Investors has a total return in 2024 of -2.66%.
Omega Healthcare Investors Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OHI#NYSE">OHI</a>) is a Hunt Valley, MD triple-net equity healthcare REIT that provides financing, capital and leasing to 66 different operators in 883 senior housing, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities across 42 states throughout the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Omega Healthcare Investors has no part in the day-to-day management of these facilities, which are run by the operators.
Deutsch bank analyst Omotayo Okusanya initiated coverage on Omega Healthcare Investors with a Buy rating and announced a price target of $36.
Omega Healthcare has a total return of -5.02% in 2024.
Three other healthcare REITs, Healthcare Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HR#NYSE">HR</a>), LTC Properties Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTC#NYSE">LTC</a>) and Healthpeak Properties Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEAK#NYSE">PEAK</a>) also had coverage initiated on January 30 and received Hold Ratings. Price targets for the three were $18, $34 and $21 respectively.
Medical Properties Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPW#NYSE">MPW</a>), which is already down 36% in 2024, was tagged with a Sell rating and a price target of $2.
Healthcare REITs have shown improvements in occupancy and ability to restructure leases with operators, but not all healthcare REITs have been equal in making these changes, and that is reflected in the various ratings by Okusanya.
Investors should keep in mind that analysts are only correct about 50% of the time, and it's best for investors to perform their own due diligence before making purchase or sell transactions.

Deutsche Bank Initiates Coverage On LTC Properties with Hold Rating, Announces Price Target of $34

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have had a rough time this year, as higher interest rates and fears of a recession have weighed upon the share prices of the stocks. Analysts have been adjusting earnings estimates lower for some time.
But REITs are reporting third-quarter earnings this week, and several are proving the consensus estimates wrong with better funds from operations (FFO) and revenue than expected. Take a look at three REITs that recently beat the Street estimates with improving numbers.
Empire State Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESRT#NYSE">ESRT</a>) is a New York City-based diversified REIT that owns and operates a portfolio of office, retail and multifamily properties in the New York metro area. Empire State Realty owns the Empire State Building, one of the world's most famous buildings. As of Sept. 30, Empire's portfolio included 8.6 million rentable square feet of office space, 700,000 rentable square feet of retail space and 727 residential units in three multifamily properties.
On Oct. 25, Empire State Realty Trust delivered its third-quarter operating results. FFO of $0.25 per share was above the consensus estimate of $0.23 and 19.05% above FFO of $0.21 per share in the third quarter of 2022. Rental revenue of $151.46 million was 2.14% higher than revenue of $148.29 million in the third quarter of 2022. Total revenue of $191.53 million beat the estimates of $185.39 million and was 4.3% higher than revenue of $183.29 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Empire State also updated its full-year 2023 FFO guidance range to $0.85-$0.87 per share. The consensus is for $0.86.
On Oct. 2, Empire State announced it acquired two properties in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, for an aggregate purchase price of $26.4 million.
Empire State Realty Trust jumped 8% following the earnings report.

</ul>
KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KREF#NYSE">KREF</a>) is a New York City-based mortgage REIT (mREIT) that provides customized and structured collateralized loans to commercial real estate projects. Its portfolio of 71 loans across the U.S. is worth $7.87 billion. Of its loan portfolio, 55% is multifamily and industrial properties and the average loan amount is $124 million.
On Oct. 23, KKR Real Estate Finance Trust reported its third-quarter operating results. Mortgage REITs use earnings per share (EPS) rather than FFO in operating results. Non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) EPS of $0.25 beat the estimates by $0.14. Revenue of $50.1 million beat the estimates of $42.9 million, although it was down 2.1% year-over-year.
After the earnings report came out, both Raymond James and JMP Securities maintained Outperform ratings on KKR Real Estate, with Raymond James analyst Stephen Lewis lowering the price target from $15 to $14.50 and JMP analyst Steven Delaney lowering the price target from $14 to $13. Based on the $13 price, the potential appreciation is 23.6% from its most recent closing price of $10.51.&nbsp;&nbsp;
LTC Properties Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTC#NYSE">LTC</a>) is a Westlake, California-based healthcare REIT that owns and leases 208 healthcare properties, comprising 50% senior housing and 50% skilled nursing facilities. LTC Properties' revenue is derived from triple-net leases, mortgages and mezzanine loans from its 29 operators across 27 states.
On Oct. 26, LTC Properties delivered its third-quarter operating results. FFO of $0.65 per share was slightly above the consensus estimate of $0.64 but $0.05 above FFO of $0.60 per share in the third quarter of 2022. Revenue of $49.3 million was ahead of estimates of $47.98 million and 13.3% higher than revenue of $43.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. LTC also reported that although expenses were slightly higher year over year, it had reduced its expenses by 24.5% from the second quarter of 2023.
Analysts have covered LTC Properties extensively in recent weeks. On Oct. 3, Wedbush Securities analyst Richard Anderson initiated coverage on LTC Properties with an Outperform rating and announced a $36 price target. On Sept. 28, Berenberg Capital Markets analyst Connor Siversky initiated coverage on LTC Properties with a Buy rating and a $36 price target. On Sept. 20, Jefferies analyst Joe Dickstein initiated coverage on LTC Properties with a Hold rating and announced a $29 price target.
