Frequently asked questions
What is National Health Investors Inc's revenue?
National Health Investors Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $404.71M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is NHI?
In its most recent fiscal year, NHI ran a gross margin of 36.70%, an operating margin of 51.47%, and a net margin of 37.56%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does NHI generate?
NHI produced $220.26M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is NHI's balance sheet healthy?
NHI holds $19.62M in cash and equivalents against $959.81M in long-term debt, on $1.52B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
