Company description
OHI, or Omega Healthcare Investors, is a publicly-traded real estate investment trust (REIT) that specializes in healthcare properties. Based in Maryland, the company was founded in 1992 and has grown to become one of the largest REITs in the healthcare industry, with a market capitalization of over $6 billion. OHI owns a diverse portfolio of over 900 properties, including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and medical office buildings, spread across 41 states in the United States and the United Kingdom. The company's primary focus is on triple-net leases, which means their tenants are responsible for most expenses related to the property, making OHI a less risky investment option. In addition to generating rental income, OHI also offers financing solutions to its operators, providing them with access to capital for growth and expansion. The company's strong management team, conservative financial policies, and established relationships with leading healthcare operators have contributed to its solid financial performance and consistent dividend payouts. Despite being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, OHI has shown resilience and continues to provide stable returns for its shareholders. Its commitment to the healthcare sector, financial stability, and long-term growth potential make it an attractive investment option in the REIT industry.
