WELLTOWER INC.
Welltower Inc (WELL) is one of the largest healthcare real estate investment trusts (REITs), specialising in senior housing, assisted living, post-acute care and outpatient medical properties. With a market capitalisation of around $117.12 billion, Welltower owns and finances real estate that it typically leases to healthcare operators under long-term contracts, generating recurring rental income. Investors often watch Welltower for demographic tailwinds — an ageing population and rising demand for senior care — alongside its portfolio mix and tenant credit quality. Key considerations include sensitivity to interest rates (which affect REIT valuations and financing costs), regulatory and policy changes in healthcare, and operational risks linked to facility operators. The company has a history of paying dividends, but income and share price can fluctuate.
