Welltower Q2 GAAP Net Income Jumps 47%, Revenue Surges 39%; $7.5B ATM Launched
WELL sits 47% above its 52-week low of $161.26.
Summary
Welltower's Q2 GAAP net income rose 47% to $445M ($0.61/share) on revenue of $3.544B, a 39% jump that handily beat estimates. The company also launched a $7.5B at-the-market equity program, replacing the prior $8.9B ATM, and disclosed C$4.1B in Canadian asset sales to Amica plus C$647M in development property closings. This follows the July 27 Q2 release that highlighted normalized FFO of $1.60, but today's recap adds the GAAP bottom line, full-year EPS guidance of $3.11–$3.19, and the Canadian deal specifics. The ATM program, while large, is a shelf replacement and not an immediate dilutive event; the asset sales and guidance raise reinforce the strong operational momentum. Citigroup lifted its target to $275, reflecting the beat.
