Why Sabra Health Care REIT Stock Soared Today

Sabra Health Care REIT (SBRA) surged 10.20% after announcing it will retenant 26 properties previously leased to Avamere, with new rent expected to increase nearly 30% to $53 million annually. The company also arranged a $300 million mortgage payoff from Recovery Centers of America for $200 million cash, using proceeds to reduce debt. These moves prompted Sabra to raise 2026 guidance for normalized AFFO to $1.59-$1.61 per share, though headline net income guidance decreased due to one-time costs.
