American Healthcare REIT Drops 0.73% Despite Record High

American Healthcare (AHR) experienced a slight decline of 0.73% today, with the share price surging to a record high, despite an intraday decline.

The strategy of buying AHR shares after they reached a recent high and holding for 1 week yielded moderate returns over the past 5 years, with a 3.5% annualized return and a 14.2% total return as of May 8, 2025. However, the strategy underperformed the S&P 500, which had a 10.5% annualized return and a 57.4% total return over the same period. This suggests that while the strategy provided some growth, it missed out on broader market gains.

American Healthcare REIT has shown remarkable performance over the past year, with a total return of 151.17% as of May 18, 2025. This impressive figure significantly outpaces the broader US market, which returned 11.9% over the same period. Such strong performance has likely contributed to the recent surge in the stock price, reflecting investor confidence in the company's growth prospects.

Institutional investors have also shown increased interest in American Healthcare REIT. Bank of America Corp DE, for instance, boosted its position in the company by 11.7% during the fourth quarter. This move suggests that major financial institutions are bullish on the stock, which could further drive its valuation. Additionally, Cresset Asset Management LLC made a new investment in American Healthcare REIT during the same period, indicating growing institutional support for the company.
