Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses P/FFO × Healthcare REIT Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $243.18 from 35 analysts, using a 30% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $138.82 per share.

Warnings

Standard profit figures are misleading for real estate companies — large non-cash accounting charges make profits look artificially low. Dividend yield and funds from operations are better measures.
The 1.2% yield is low for a real estate company — investors are paying up because they expect above-average growth.
Wall Street's average price target is $243.18 (from 35 analysts). Our estimate is 61% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

Key Risks

  • P/E and EV/EBITDA are structurally wrong for REITs — use P/FFO and NAV
  • Interest rate sensitivity: REIT multiples compress when rates rise
  • FFO approximation (NI + D&A) may include gains on property sales — verify
