Key Takeaways
DOC is set to report Q4 results Feb. 2, with total revenues expected to edge higher year over year.
DOC benefits from lab real estate demand and higher senior healthcare spending, supporting Q4 performance.
DOC faces pressure from high interest expenses, with consensus now indicating a Y/Y FFO per share decline.
Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (DOC - Free Report) is slated to report its fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 2, after market close. While the company’s quarterly results are likely to display a year-over-year rise in revenues, funds from operations (FFO) per share are expected to fall.
In the last reported quarter, this healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT) posted an FFO as adjusted per share of 46 cents, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a cent. Results reflected better-than-anticipated revenues. Growth in total merger-combined same-store cash (adjusted) net operating income was witnessed across the portfolio.
In the preceding four quarters, Healthpeak’s FFO, as adjusted per share, surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate on two occasions and met in the remaining periods, with the average beat being 1.11%. The graph below depicts this surprise history:
Healthpeak Properties, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
The increasing life expectancy of the U.S. population and biopharma drug development growth opportunities have promoted the lab real estate market fundamentals. Healthpeak’s focus on the lab segment is a strategic fit and is expected to have benefited from this tailwind.
Moreover, the senior citizen population is on the rise, and the healthcare expenditure of this age cohort is usually on the higher end compared with the general population. Healthpeak’s continuing care retirement community portfolio, which refers to its retirement communities, is anticipated to have benefited from this positive expenditure trend, supporting the segment’s quarterly performance.
However, high interest expenses during the fourth quarter are likely to have been a spoilsport for Healthpeak.
DOC’s Projections for Q4
For the fourth quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for DOC’s resident fees and services revenues stands at $148 million, indicating a rise of 1.4% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DOC’s rental and related revenues currently stands at $536.4 million, implying a marginal rise from the prior-year period’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter total revenues is pegged at $699.5 million, indicating a marginal rise of 0.2% from the year-ago reported number.
Before the fourth-quarter earnings release, the company’s activities were inadequate to gain analysts’ confidence. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarterly FFO per share has decreased a cent to 45 cents over the past month. The figure suggests 2.2% fall from the year-ago quarter’s tally.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts for Healthpeak
Our proven model does not conclusively predict a surprise in terms of FFO per share for DOC this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an FFO beat, which is not the case here.
Healthpeak currently has an Earnings ESP of -0.26% and carries a Zacks Rank of #3. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Stocks That Warrant a Look
Here are two stocks from the broader REIT sector, EastGroup Properties (EGP - Free Report) and Welltower, Inc. (WELL - Free Report) , you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to report an FFO beat this quarter.
WELL is slated to report quarterly numbers on Feb. 10. WELL has an Earnings ESP of +0.58% and carries a Zacks Rank of 3 at present.
Note: Anything related to earnings presented in this write-up represents funds from operations (FFO) — a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs.
