American Healthcare REIT posts Q3 2026 results and lifts full‑year NOI and NFFO guidance

American Healthcare REIT reported GAAP net income of $31.2 million ($0.14 per diluted share) and normalized funds from operations of $0.58 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Same‑store net operating income grew 13.8% overall, driven by 28.2% growth in its senior‑housing (SHOP) segment. The company raised its full‑year 2026 same‑store NOI target to 12‑14% and its NFFO guidance to $2.23‑$2.26 per share, while completing a $819 million follow‑on equity offering and reporting net debt at 1.9 × adjusted EBITDA.

The higher NOI and NFFO guidance suggest stronger cash‑flow generation, which could support a higher valuation for AHR (the company expects). The equity offering provides $819 million of capital but may dilute existing shareholders.
