Description: WELL Welltower January 27, 2026
Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL) is an S&P 500-listed REIT that concentrates on senior-focused rental housing across the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The company markets its 2,000+ communities as a hybrid of housing and hospitality, emphasizing “micro-market” locations and a vertically integrated operating model that it describes as a real-estate wrapper around an operating business.
Key recent metrics (as of Q4 2024): occupancy averaged 94.2% across the portfolio, same-store rent growth was 5.1% YoY, and net operating income (NOI) rose 8.3% year-over-year, supporting a current dividend yield of roughly 5.5%. The senior housing sector is being driven by a 3.2% annual increase in the U.S. population aged 65+, and by tighter supply in high-demand “life-stage” markets, which historically compresses cap rates to the low-7% range for premium assets.
