Where SNDA is headed

The peak Baby Boomer birth year was 1957. Those people turn 80 in 2037. The senior housing industry stopped building meaningful supply around 2019, and construction starts have been running at roughly a quarter of the prior decade average ever since. Demand curves and supply curves are about to cross with real violence, and Sonida sits on 94 owned communities heading into that collision with occupancy still climbing out of a COVID-era hole. Every point of occupancy in this business is worth outsized dollars because the incremental cost of one more resident in a building already staffed and lit is close to nothing. That is the entire story here, and the math is genuinely brutal in Sonida's favor.
