Why is Omega Healthcare Investors Inc. (OHI) stock moving?
Omega's Q3 2026 results beat expectations, with FFO of $0.82 per share against a $0.81 estimate and revenue of $340.6M against $297.0M. AFFO reached $262M ($0.82 per diluted share), up from $243M ($0.79) a year earlier, and FAD rose to $0.78 per share from $0.75. Management raised FY2026 AFFO guidance to $3.28-$3.30 from $3.22-$3.26, lifting the midpoint by 5 cents to $3.29, and said leverage is at the lowest level in the company's history. Investment activity is substantial: $182M in Q3, $946M since quarter-end and about $1.5B year to date. The October PACS transition of 32 Florida facilities adds $26.1M of first-year rent but required a one-time expense of about $90M, and the Genesis bankruptcy sale closed with Omega's lease assigned to the buyer. Risks include dilution from 4.7M shares issued for $234M in Q3, the CEO handover effective Oct 1, and continued operator-level credit exposure. The stock closed at $46.87 on Nov 3, rose 3.5% to $48.49 on Nov 4 on 3.15M shares (versus roughly 2M on typical days), and has since traded between $47.99 and $49.33, closing at $48.70 on Nov 10. That is about 6.7% above the Oct 22 close of $45.66, so most of the earnings reaction appears to be in the price, with the stock holding near its recent highs.

About Omega Healthcare Investors Inc.
Omega Healthcare Investors is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and UK care homes, and leases them to outside operators. It is one of the largest owners of skilled nursing property in the US. As of September 30, 2026 it had about 1,127 properties run by 96 operators across 43 US states and the UK.
How it makes money
Most of its revenue comes from rent paid by nursing home and senior housing operators under long-term triple-net leases, where the operator also covers taxes, insurance and upkeep. A smaller share comes from interest on real estate and other loans it makes to operators. A growing number of buildings (roughly 44) are run under RIDEA structures, where Omega shares directly in the facilities' operating results instead of collecting fixed rent. As a REIT, it pays out most of its income as dividends.
