		<description><![CDATA[We have changed our long-term recommendation for Ventas (VTR) to Outperform driven by its strong third quarter 2011 results. Recurring FFO for the reported quarter exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $0.06 primarily due to the accretive effect of the acquisitions of Nationwide Health Properties and Atria. Ventas is one of the largest healthcare REITs in the U.S., with one of the most diversified portfolios and exposure to nearly all types of facilities. The healthcare sector is relatively immune to the downturn in the economy, and provides a steady source of income that insulates the company from short-term market volatility. Our target price is $66.00, implying a multiple of 19.9X 2011 FFO/share. VENTAS INC (VTR): Free Stock Analysis Report To read this article on Zacks.com click here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ventas Inc. (VTR), a premier healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently completed the acquisition of its rival Nationwide Health Properties Inc. (NHP) in an all-stock deal. The transaction worth $7.6 billion created one of the largest publicly traded REITs in the U.S. and arguably the leading healthcare REIT by equity value. The latest acquisition by Ventas reinforces the buzz in the healthcare REIT industry, spurred by an aging Baby Boomer generation’s increased demand for assisted and independent living facilities. The combined entity would have a pro-forma equity market capitalization of approximately $17 billion and a pro forma enterprise value of approximately $23 billion. According to the terms of the agreement, each Nationwide Health share was traded for 0.7866 of Ventas&#8217; share. Based on the closing pre-bid stock price ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has rejected a rehearing petition of HCP Inc. (HCP), a leading healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), against its favorable decision awarded to Ventas Inc. (VTR). The court had earlier unanimously ruled in favor of Ventas and affirmed a 2009 jury verdict that awarded it a $101.6 million in damages. The verdict relates to the lawsuit filed by Ventas regarding the ‘Tortious Interference’ by HCP with business expectation arising out of the former’s acquisition of Sunrise Senior Living Inc. (SRZ) in April 2007. ‘Tortious Interference’ under Kentucky Law relates to intentional interference with prospective contractual relation for causing pecuniary harm by preventing another from acquiring or continuing the prospective relation.

This has helped the group generate market-beating returns. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index had total returns of 6.3% in the first quarter of 2011 vs. 4.8% and 5.4% for the NASDAQ Composite and the S&#38;P 500 Index, respectively. This was preceded by a solid back-to-back returns performances by the industry, as the above referred benchmark index returned roughly 28% each in 2010 and 2009. Investors looking for high dividend yields also favored the REIT sector.

		<description><![CDATA[Ventas Inc. (VTR), a leading healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), recently increased its revolving credit facility to $1 billion. The first portion of the credit facility, which contains $765 million of borrowing capacity, is scheduled to mature in Apr 2012, while the balance would mature in Apr 2010. The increase in credit facility was made possible by a $50 million loan commitment by an unnamed financial institution, which joined the company’s bankers as an additional lender. The increased credit facility provides Ventas with the financial flexibility to drive future growth through potential acquisitions. Ventas is one of the leading healthcare REITs in the U.S., with a portfolio of 501 healthcare-related facilities containing approximately 50,000 licensed beds and senior housing units, strategically located in 43 states and two Canadian provinces.

		<description><![CDATA[Health Care REIT Inc. (HCN), a real estate investment trust (REIT) that operates senior housing and health care real estate, has reported dismal third quarter 2009 results with FFO (fund from operations) of 53 cents per share compared to 85 cents in the year-earlier quarter. Fund from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income.

		<description><![CDATA[HCP Inc. (HCP), a healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), reported a radical decline in third quarter 2009 FFO (funds from operations) to $32.2 million or 11 cents per share, compared to $174.3 million or 70 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. Funds from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income. The year-over-year decrease in FFO was due to the negative impact of non-recurring charges of 39 cents per share, primarily related to the jury verdict in Ventas Inc. (VTR) litigation. Excluding the one-time charges, FFO for the third quarter of 2009 was $149.3 million or 52 cents per share compared to $178.8 million or 72 cents per share in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ventas Inc. (VTR), a leading healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), reported relatively modest third quarter results with steady performances across its diversified portfolio of healthcare and senior housing assets. Funds from operations (FFO), a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs and obtained after adding depreciation and other non-cash expenses to net income, were $98.3 million or 63 cents per share during the quarter compared to $113.0 million or 80 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. The year-over-year decrease in FFO was primarily due to the reversal of a $23.3 million previously recorded contingent liability. Ventas currently has an operating portfolio of 79 senior housing communities in North America that are managed by Sunrise Senior Living Inc. (SRZ). In about 19 of these, Ventas has 100% ]]></description>
