Yes it's possibly BlackRock still selling down part of their holding here. Would be good to know when they have finished!

[bdog51] 19/10/2022 09:09

Fallen a few pence so far this week and now seems to be back in the buy zone ie sub 80p. I'll be taking a few more anyway.

Nothing new, as they had signalled prudent management of funds, rather than buying more properties in a rising interest rate environment.

[bdog51] 14/10/2022 13:04

I bought in yesterday on discovering this, tempted to buy a few more too.

[my retirement fund] 14/10/2022 12:31

Couldn't help myself, had to have a few too

[uapatel] 14/10/2022 10:53

New here, looked at before, but yield wasn’t attractive plus mostly on a premium (Not that that’s a bad thing, just not enticing enough).

So bought in to this yesterday and bit more today. Will look to add a little more next week, if there is a drop sub 80p. Hopefully the high quality portfolio holds up and like that the management appear focused on costs/quality.

Who knows. It is a firm pattern that when a crisis is happening most reits seem to fall like a stone. Then recover back to pre fall prices over the next 6-12 months. It has happened many times March 2020 being the last. I have bgt in my sipp, will hold and take dividends until the share price does exactly that. Adding a few along the way.

I am guessing the root cause of this rout in the share price is big investors who borrowed money at short term low interest to buy high yielding property shares . Now the interest rate on the debt is rolling over at higher levels they need to sell or risk owing more than their holding is worth.
Add to this the higher food costs/ short labour supply high energy costs to keep guests warm and the profitability of the tenants comes into question.
Investors do need to understand I think that the use of borrowed money by big shareholders to buy high yielders renders all such shares risky when interest rates rise.
If anyone thinks this is wrong please do inform. Thank you.

It's funny that a investment that is intended to be safe and income generating should be so volatile. I notice that much of their long term debt is with Phoenix. I wonder whether they are getting caught up in the pensions crunch that is hitting the pensions providers. At any rate I'm not selling Tin hat on and will ride out this storm and will pick up a few more over the next week or two.

Assume forced sellers driving price down with few buyers. ? Same with RECI and SUPR. I'm thinking of being brave and picking up a few more for a long term view and yield.

Something has to give here. Net asset value is 111.8p per share. At 83.5p they are trading at roughly 35% discount to NAV, with a 8% yield. Of course many reit investments are also getting hit hard, though demand for care homes will exist even if the economy goes haywire. Loading up, too cheap imo.


Private equity were buying up REIT investments over the last few years. With the pound so low against the dollar and the discount to NAV, I can see a takeover offer coming.

Being lumped into the indiscriminate REIT sell off.

So what's going on here then - catching up with the market.

An interesting read CWA, which answers grim's question above:
While all rents paid to Target are linked to Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation (c 96%) or fixed (c 4%), uplifts are typically capped at c 4% with a floor of c 2%. This means that while RPI inflation is above 4% Target’s rental growth will lag in real terms, but it contributes towards rents remaining affordable for tenant operators and enhances the security of Target’s income. The company estimates that rent costs represent c 20% of gross revenues for its typical established home.

The debt isn't excessive and plenty but not all is fixed.

Operational progress and positive returns

[spoole5] 01/9/2022 15:42

On a rare discount now

Sounds positive on the whole:-

Portfolio update

Target Healthcare (LSE: THRL), the UK listed specialist investor in modern, purpose-built care homes, is pleased to provide the following update on its portfolio initiatives and rent collection.

The Group's Net Asset Value, Corporate Update & Dividend announcement published on 4 August 2022 detailed re-tenanting initiatives which would, in aggregate, reallocate nine homes providing 8.3% of contractual rent to six alternative operators, and alleviate the impact on recent rent collection, which was 90% for the quarter ended 30 June 2022.

An agreement has since been reached with the incumbent tenant in seven of these homes (6.2% of June 2022 contractual rent) whereby they will remain in place as a tenant and operator. The full settlement of outstanding rental arrears to 30 June 2022 has been received, resulting in the rent collection for the quarter ended 30 June 2022 increasing to 94% from 90%, and for the quarter ended 31 March 2022 increasing to 95% from 92%, reflecting the previous receipt of partial rental payments. Furthermore, all rent due in respect of the current quarter to September 2022 has been received, as has penalty interest in respect of all overdue rent.

The tenant has reaffirmed their long-term commitment to the homes following the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and has pledged additional security from another company in the tenant's group.

Scott Steven, Head of Asset Management of Target Fund Managers:

"The commitments made by all parties during this process is strong evidence of the trading outlook for these assets, and of the overall demand for modern, ESG-compliant care home real estate from progressive, quality care providers. Underlying resident occupancy across our portfolio continues its steady recovery and reflects the long-term structural demand for care places in our homes. This is long-awaited from our tenants and while mindful of the inflationary and staffing headwinds they face, we are generally optimistic that trading improvements will continue in the coming months."

Ex d today. 1.69p a share.

[grim] 09/8/2022 14:47

Anyone know how their rent reviews linked to inflation actually work. They use the phrase 'cap and collar' which would indicate that there is an upward limit but I can't see any annual report that tells us how limited that is. If it's a 4% cap (like with SUPR) then it's not a lot of use when inflation is 10%+.

[catch007] 04/8/2022 10:41

I wasn't aware of the two struggling tenants until todays update - gives some insight into recent share price weakness. Good to see remedial action in retenanting sorting out the issues. Good update imho.

[saltaire111] 04/8/2022 07:07

Another strong set of results.

Salty

[igoe104] 09/6/2022 07:57
