LTC Adds $160M in SHOP Communities, Sells Non-Core Assets for $260M
LTC sits 28% above its 52-week low of $33.639.
Summary
LTC Properties announced nearly $160 million in acquisitions of three senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP) communities, funded by over $260 million in gross proceeds from divesting two non-SHOP portfolios. The acquisitions add 270 units at a 6.5% expected year-one cap rate and low-to-mid-teens unlevered IRR. The divestitures generate an expected $225 million gain on sale and reduce triple-net skilled nursing exposure to about 30% of annualized NOI. Year-to-date SHOP acquisitions now total approximately $740 million, exceeding 80% of the 2026 midpoint target. The company also expects a $180 million mortgage loan payoff in early-to-mid November 2026, further boosting liquidity for continued SHOP expansion. This follows the $200 million Minnesota acquisition announced in September and the raised SHOP guidance from Q2 earnings. The portfolio transformation is accelerating, with SHOP now contributing over 40% of annualized NOI.
