Munger Mode rating: 2 out of 5 — Sell. Our own rating from the research report below, on business quality first: moat durability and management, with price separating the top three.
We'll give you the conclusion up front, the way we like it served to us: Welltower is a competently run, demographically blessed, capital-hungry real estate business that the market has decided to price like a software company. At roughly 38 times this year's guided funds from operations, a 1.4% dividend yield, and — by an activist's account of Green Street figures — the largest premium to net asset value in the company's history, the stock offers no margin of safety whatsoever. Worse, from our chairs, the board recently adopted an executive pay program so aggressive that 81% of voting shareholders rejected it — and the board kept it anyway. When we grade on our two primary axes — durability of moat and integrity of the management-shareholder compact — Welltower earns two stars. The operations are admirable. The stock is not.
