Ventas stock (ISIN US92276F1003) closed at USD 87.03 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, up 0.39 percent from the previous close of USD 86.69. The latest analyst action kept an Outperform rating but lowered the price target from USD 101 to USD 100.

Evercore trims target to USD 100

According to Yahoo Finance on September 21, 2026, Evercore ISI Group maintained its Outperform rating and reduced the target by USD 1, from USD 101 to USD 100. The revised target is USD 12.97 above the September 21 closing price, a 14.9 percent difference based on the quoted levels.

The same September 21 market data put the average analyst target at USD 101.82 and the high target at USD 113.00. Ventas therefore traded USD 14.79 below the average target and USD 25.97 below the highest published estimate shown in the overview.

Q2 revenue reached USD 1.73 billion

Ventas reported Q2 FY26 revenue of USD 1.73 billion and earnings of USD 70.57 million, according to Yahoo Finance data published on September 21, 2026. The listed profit margin was 4.08 percent for that period.

The Q2 FY26 earnings-per-share figure was USD 0.17 versus an estimate of USD 0.11, a USD 0.06 difference. That comparison gives the quarterly operating update more weight than the small target reduction, although the reported GAAP earnings and normalized real estate metrics measure different aspects of a healthcare REIT.

Dividend date and valuation levels

Ventas announced a quarterly dividend of USD 0.52 per share with an ex-dividend date of September 30, 2026, and the next earnings date shown in the September 21 market data is October 28, 2026. The stock's 52-week range was USD 66.93 to USD 101.60, placing the September 21 close USD 14.57 below the high and USD 20.10 above the low.

For investors, the key tension is visible in the numbers: the stock was up 29.64 percent over one year as of September 21, 2026, while the current price remained below the average analyst target of USD 101.82. The valuation signal is therefore tied to execution in the senior housing and healthcare property portfolio rather than to the target revision alone.
