Should You Buy This 4.9%-Yielding Healthcare REIT?

This company remains a top-notch income vehicle for DGI investors.

This company remains a top-notch income vehicle for DGI investors. The healthcare REIT has strong distribution coverage stats, and out-earned its dividend with AFFO in the last quarter. Industry fundamentals are intact. Shares are not cheap, but the valuation proposition is strong. An investment in the stock yields 4.9 percent.

Ventas Inc. (VTR) makes a compelling value proposition for investors that seek high-quality and recurring dividend income from one of the country's largest healthcare REITs. It has a diversified facility portfolio, very good distribution coverage, and the fundamentals in the healthcare sector (population growth, rising healthcare expenditures) remain intact. Shares are not a bargain anymore, but the risk/reward is still favorable, in my opinion.
