Description: WELL Welltower December 02, 2025

Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL) is an S&P 500-listed REIT that concentrates on senior-focused rental housing and wellness communities across the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. The company describes itself as a hybrid “operating company in a real-estate wrapper,” leveraging data-science-driven capital allocation and the proprietary Welltower Business System to generate long-term per-share growth for shareholders.

Key operational metrics (as of Q3 2024) show an occupancy rate of roughly 94% and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) of $1.23 per share for FY 2024, reflecting a 7% year-over-year increase. The pipeline includes more than 30 new or redeveloped communities slated for completion by 2026, primarily in “micro-markets” with strong senior population growth; the U.S. 65-plus cohort is projected to rise from 56 million in 2023 to 78 million by 2035, underpinning demand. A sector-wide driver is the prevailing low-interest-rate environment, which supports REIT valuation through compressed cap rates, though any upward shift in rates could pressure pricing and financing costs.
