Diversified Healthcare Trust reports Q3 2026 loss but lifts senior‑housing NOI guidance

Diversified Healthcare Trust (DHC) posted third‑quarter 2026 results with a net loss of $0.21 per share and revenue of $367.7 million, missing consensus estimates. Adjusted EBITDAre rose 28.4% YoY to $73.4 million and normalized FFO increased to $0.13 per share, a 659.7% year‑over‑year gain. The senior‑housing operating portfolio (SHOP) delivered same‑property NOI of $48 million, up 50.4% YoY, prompting the company to raise its full‑year SHOP NOI guidance to $190‑$200 million and cut recurring capital‑expenditure guidance by $10 million at the midpoint.

The raised SHOP NOI guidance improves the outlook for cash flow generation, which may support debt repayment and dividend capacity (the company’s own guidance says). The lower capex guidance reduces expected cash outflows, potentially enhancing free cash flow for investors.
