Welltower Inc., a leading REIT, reported a 23% year-over-year increase in funds from operations (FFO) for Q1 2026, driven by strong performance in its senior housing operations (SHO) segment with 22.1% same-store net operating income growth and 88.8% occupancy. Despite these solid fundamentals and disciplined capital management, the stock trades at a price-to-FFO ratio of 33x, significantly above its historical average and peers, making its current valuation hard to justify. The analyst rates Welltower as a 'sell' at $217, suggesting a better buying opportunity in the $155–$165 range when the valuation more accurately reflects the company's quality.
