I've been with this one since 2002. Stoped buying it a few years later! (except for the divs) When you buy it for 10 selling, selling it for 30 does not make it! It pays 6.5%, what a great buy!

The dividend and solid balance sheet makes it a strong investment.

Great REIT with low debt and should do well in a bad economy

Solid financials, should be fairly isolated from current economic pressures and a good entry point. Outperform.

NHI is attractive to me for several reasons. REITs have been pushed down due to the weak real estate market and the subprime mess. NHI invests in income producing HEALTH CARE properties which seem less vulnerable to those concerns to me. With 78M Baby-Boomers aging, health care properties like nursing homes and long term care facilities should see demand rise.

Low debt/equity and falling

P/E of 9 vs 5 yr avg P/E 14

7% dividend--$2 dividend with $3.26 EPS seems secure

ROE of 20% and rising

ROA of 10% and rising

Short ratio of 12.6 and stock price has started rising

What's not to like?

Look for a buy-out as the company is either taken over by NHC (its parent company) or by a private equity firm, resulting in a 20% premium to today's prices. You are also collecting a handsome 6% dividend while you wait. Downside risk is minimal.

Even with this at a 5 yr high still a 5%+ dividend and low debt and cash. With baby boomers aging these types of homes should be in demand for the next 5-10 years.

The CEO does want to buy the company. He has made a few low ball offers in the past which have (or should be) reject by the shareholders. I'm not sure if he's trying to build up interest in a buyout or if he is attempting to be serious.

His most recent offer was $34 a share which included a $15 special dividend (not sure what the tax class for that would be) and depending on if you got in before $19 a capital gain / loss. If the CEO really wants to buy the company a realistic price target would be about $40 IMO.
