Insights Ahead: LTC Properties's Quarterly Earnings

Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) topped the biggest gainers list Tuesday after digital asset trading and management firm Canary Capital filed for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency's price.&nbsp;
What happened: The coin, created from the hard fork of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in 2011, was up over 7% as of this writing, outperforming all the cryptocurrencies in the market, including Bitcoin itself.
LTC experienced a whopping 149% increase in trading volume over the last 24 hours, as buying pressure catapulted the coin to its highest value in two and a half months.
The rally was spurred by an S-1 <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2039461/000199937124013330/litecoin-s1_101524.htm">filing </a>submitted by Canary Capital on Tuesday—a prerequisite for issuers to file to offer new securities.
The proposed Canary Litecoin ETF aims to provide exposure to the price movement of LTC held by the trust.

The application for a Litecoin ETF comes a week after Canary Capital filed for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41243775/xrp-etf-buzz-increases-as-canary-capital-pursues-sec-for-greenlight-on-its-fund-will-the-g">similar investment vehicle that tracks the price</a> of payment-focused cryptocurrency XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>).
While Litecoin was originally <a href="https://litecoin.org/">intended </a>to be a payment method, it has since evolved into a tool for speculation and investment, trading regularly in the market.
Interestingly, the Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) network's underlying technology is derived from Litecoin.
Billy Markus, the co-creator of Dogecoin, said in a 2021 interview with Benzinga that the auxiliary proof-of-work or AuxPOW, announced in 2014 after it was suggested by Litecoin&nbsp;creator Charlie Lee, allowed Dogecoin to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/04/20804274/dogecoin-co-creator-says-meme-crypto-has-been-one-of-the-most-secure-coins-for-years" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">merge-mined with any Scrypt coin.&nbsp;</a>
Like Bitcoin, Litecoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38690567/this-bitcoin-offshoot-tops-digital-payments-escapes-sec-scrutiny-but-remains-undervalued-t">has evaded scrutiny from U.S. regulators</a> on the contentious security vs. commodity debate, a factor possibly motivating issuers to file for ETF applications.
Why It Matters: The much-touted decentralized finance (DeFi) project was launched by Trump last month, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41303639/donald-trump-says-his-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-will-start-selling-tokens-on-"> the sale of the project's governance token</a> WLFI set for Tuesday.&nbsp;
Price Action: At the time of writing, Litecoin was exchanging hands at $71.72, up 7.31% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

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>.

Separately, S&amp;P Global released a report Tuesday, tracking the 20-city home price index. It revealed a similar trend nationwide: 
<ul>
<li>Prices up 7.3% year-on-year, the highest since October 2022 and surpassing expectations of a 6.7% increase.</li>

Brian D. Luke, head of commodities, real and digital assets at S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices, remarked, "Following last year's decline, U.S. home prices are at or near all-time highs.

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.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CubeSmart</h2>
CubeSmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CUBE#NYSE">CUBE</a>) is the third largest owner and operator of self storage facilities in the United States.

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.

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.
