Did CHCT Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
Community Healthcare Trust delivered a mixed first quarter for 2026, posting GAAP earnings of $0.07 per diluted share, falling 30% short of the $0.10 consensus estimate, even as revenue edged ahead of expectations. Total revenues reached $31.52 million, a 4.8% increase from $30.08 million a year ago and marginally above the $31.17 million analyst forecast, driven largely by rental income climbing to $31.27 million on the back of recent acquisitions, including a $28.50 million inpatient rehabilitation facility in Pinellas Park, Florida. The headline EPS shortfall was tempered by improving non-GAAP metrics, with FFO per diluted share rising to $0.49 from $0.47 and Net Operating Income reaching $25.16 million. A lingering drag remains the geriatric behavioral hospital tenant, which paid only $300,000 in rent during the quarter, though a potential sale of that operator's business to a behavioral healthcare provider is advancing through due diligence. Looking ahead, the company has four properties under purchase agreements totaling roughly $99.00 million in expected acquisitions, with anticipated returns of 9.1% to 9.75%, slated to close across 2026 and 2027.
- Acquisition of Nobis Rehabilitation Hospital in Florida for $28.5 million with 100% occupancy and 9.3% expected return
- Rental income growth to $31.3 million from $29.7 million year-over-year
- NOI increased to $25.2 million from $24.0 million year-over-year
- AFFO per diluted share improved to $0.56 from $0.55 year-over-year
Forward Guidance & Outlook
The company has four properties under definitive purchase agreements to be acquired after completion and occupancy for an aggregate expected purchase price of approximately $99.0 million, with expected returns of approximately 9.1% to 9.75%. Closings are anticipated throughout 2026 and 2027, though timing and certainty are not assured. A potential sale of the geriatric behavioral hospital tenant's business to a behavioral healthcare provider is progressing through due diligence and document drafting, including new leases on six CHCT-owned hospitals, but the company cannot provide assurance regarding timing or certainty of closing.
