Enter a ticker to learn what the company does and how it makes money.
Sabra owns healthcare buildings like nursing homes and assisted-living centers, and collects rent from the companies that operate them.
Let me reconsider — I must only include companies I am sure exist with correct tickers.
I need to be careful. Let me give confirmed real ones: DOC — Healthpeak Properties — US — owns life science and medical buildings; CTRE — CareTrust REIT — US — owns nursing and senior homes; LTC — LTC Properties — US — owns senior housing and nursing; SNR? no MPW — Medical Properties Trust — US — owns hospital real estate Now the explanation. Sabra Health Care REIT owns buildings where sick and elderly people get care, and it gets paid rent by the companies that run those buildings. It is a landlord, not a doctor or nurse. Its tenants are nursing homes, assisted-living centers, and behavioral health facilities. They sign long leases, usually for many years, and send Sabra a check every month. In return, Sabra handles the property — the walls, roofs, and upkeep — while the operator handles patients and staff. Think of it as owning the restaurant building and letting someone else run the kitchen. The business is split into a few main pieces. Skilled nursing facilities are the biggest slice, roughly half of revenue, where tenants care for people who need round-the-clock medical help. Senior housing comes next, including assisted living, where older folks get help with daily tasks. Then there is a smaller specialty group, covering things like addiction treatment and behavioral health centers. Sabra also lends money to some operators and holds some joint ventures, but rent from real estate is the core. Its customers are healthcare operating companies, and they choose Sabra because it can fund big properties and offers long-term leases they could not easily get from a bank.
Sabra started in 2010, spun out of another care company, and went public on NASDAQ. It has grown by buying more properties and by taking over weaker landlords' buildings when operators got into trouble. A big turning point was its 2021 deal to merge with CareCapital Properties, which made it one of the larger healthcare landlords in the country
