With a market cap of $37.6 billion, Ventas, Inc. (VTR) is a leading U.S. real estate investment trust focused on healthcare and senior living assets. Its portfolio spans senior housing communities, medical office buildings, life science facilities, and hospitals. Focused on serving the growing aging population, the Illinois-based company invests in senior housing communities, medical office buildings, research & innovation centers, and healthcare facilities.
Companies valued at more than $10 billion are generally considered “large-cap” stocks, and Ventas fits this criterion perfectly. The company benefits from long-term demographic tailwinds driven by an aging population, although performance remains sensitive to interest rates and operating conditions in the senior housing sector. Investors typically view Ventas as a diversified healthcare REIT with stable cash flows and moderate growth prospects.
