Omega Healthcare Investors Inc, known by the ticker symbol OHI, is a mid cap HealthCare Facilities Real Estate Investment Trust  in the healthcare business sector. This is my first report on OHI for my Viital stock portfolio. I last reviewed OHI seven months ago, April 29th when I reviewed it for my Vista stock portfolio. From that report: 

Omega Healthcare Investors Inc is a healthcare facility real estate investment trust that invests in  assets span all regions within the US, as well as in the UK.

Omega's portfolio focuses on long-term healthcare facilities. The company maintains dual goals of increasing its returns to investors while also maintaining a high level of care for residents. 

Omega works to obtain contractual rent escalations under long-term leases, along with fixed-rate mortgage loans. The company considers merger and acquisition investment as a component of its operational growth strategy

From its beginning in 1992, the Company has been investing in senior care and in partnering with 63 future-focused, growth oriented operators in the U.S. and U.K.

Three key data points gauge any dividend equity or fund such as Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI):

(1) Price (2) Dividends (3) Returns

Those three basic keys best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money. 

OHI Price

Omega's price per share was $28.72 as of yesterday's market close. One year ago its price was $37.91. Thus, OHI's share price tumbled about 24% in the past year.

If Omega's stock trades in the range of $15.00 to $40.00 this next year, its recent $28.72 share price could rise by $5.28 to reach $34.00 by December 9, 2022. My estimate is $0.31 under the median of the estimates from thirteen analysts who cover Omega Healthcare Investors Inc for their brokerage firms.

OHI Dividends

Omega's most recent quarterly dividend of  $0.67 was paid out November 15th, to shareholders of record November 4th. That dividend equates to $2.68 annually and yields 9.33% per yesterday's $28.72 closing price. 

Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI) has paid quarterly dividends increasing generally annually for the past eight years since November, 1992.

OHI Returns

Adding the $2.68 annual estimated OHI forward-looking dividend to my $5.28 price upside estimate shows a $7.96 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade OHI shares.  

At yesterday's $28.72 price per share, a little over $1000 would buy 35 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at sale and might cost us $0.29 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.29 brokerage cost from my estimated $7.96 gross gain per share results in a net gain of $7.67 X 35 shares = $268.45 for a 26.84% net gain on a $1,005.20  investment.

So it is that Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI)  shows a possible 26.84% net gain including a 9.33% forward estimated dividend yield. 

Over the next year at this time a $1000 investment in Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI) could generate $93.30 in cash dividends alone. Note that a single share of OHI stock bought at yesterday's closing price was $28.72. Therefore, Omega's share price is less than one third the dividend income from $1000.00 invested. Thus, according to my dogcatcher ideal, now could be a prime time to pickup Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI) shares. The estimated next-year dividend from $1k invested is nearly 325% greater than OHI's single share price. Consider yourself alerted. It's a sign! 

All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI). Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its market value.
