The stock reached an all-time high of $170.35 earlier this year, reflecting a 50.55% annual gain, driven by robust demand for healthcare infrastructure and a strong balance sheet. Q2 2025 results showed the company exceeded revenue forecasts by 4.08%, reporting $2.55 billion against a projected $2.45 billion, while meeting earnings expectations with $0.45 per share

Welltower also filed a prospectus supplement for up to 949,412 shares, linked to prior property acquisitions, signaling ongoing strategic initiatives and capital flexibility. The company’s 50-year consecutive dividend history and "GREAT" financial health rating reinforce its appeal amid market volatility

A strategy of purchasing the top 500 high-volume stocks and holding them for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the 29.18% benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights the role of liquidity concentration in short-term performance, particularly in volatile markets, though such concentrated approaches may lack long-term sustainability
