Target Healthcare REIT has acquired three operational care homes and one new development for a total of £45m, deploying more than half the proceeds of its recent nine-home portfolio disposal. The high-quality homes, let to a strong new but established tenant, have been acquired at an accretive blended net initial yield of more than 6%. With significant remaining available capital, and a strong pipeline of similarly attractive opportunities, we expect acquisitions, in combination with indexed rent reviews, to drive continuing earnings and DPS growth.

Target Healthcare REIT’s Q425 update shows indexed rent reviews continuing to drive increased earnings and property values, underpinning growing DPS. Q425 NAV total return was a strong 2.9%, taking the annual total to 9.0%. We will review our estimates when the FY25 results are published in detail in September, but continue to expect rental growth, a full-year contribution from development completions and asset management to drive further growth.
