"Ventas delivered a strong first quarter of 2025, as we executed on our strategy to capitalize on the unprecedented multiyear growth opportunity in senior housing. We drove double-digit growth in our senior housing operating portfolio, which powered our first quarter results," said CEO Debra A. Cafaro.
The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting normalized FFO per share in the range of $3.35 to $3.46.
Given the expected downside potential, growth-focused investors may not find Ventas stock attractive. Furthermore, they can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 3.06%.
