Welltower raised its 2026 earnings outlook in an October 26 release reporting higher third-quarter revenue and profit.
The healthcare real-estate company now projects net income attributable to common shareholders of $3.31 to $3.37 per diluted share, compared with its previous range of $3.11 to $3.19.
Its normalized funds-from-operations forecast increased to $6.47–$6.53 per diluted share from $6.36–$6.44. Normalized FFO is a supplemental measure distinct from GAAP net income and includes adjustments described in the release.
Third-quarter revenue reached approximately $3.716 billion, compared with $2.686 billion a year earlier. Diluted net income per common share rose to $0.54 from $0.41, while normalized FFO per share increased to $1.67 from $1.34.
Management’s outlook assumes blended same-store net-operating-income growth of 15% to 16.25%. The earnings guidance includes acquisitions already announced or completed, rather than an unlimited assumption of future deals.
The annual ranges remain forecasts. The quarterly figures cover the three months ended September 30 and should not be confused with the company’s full-year projections.
