Upturn Advisory & Investor View for HR

09/23/2026: HR (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated is a specialized REIT that owns a large portfolio of medical office buildings across the United States. Its primary strength lies in its strategic focus on outpatient facilities, which benefit from the long-term trend of healthcare services moving away from hospital campuses. While the 2022 merger significantly scaled the business, it also introduced substantial leverage that the company is currently working to reduce. Key risks include interest rate sensitivity and the execution required to integrate and refine the portfolio. The stock may suit dividend-focused investors seeking exposure to essential healthcare infrastructure, though monitoring debt levels and property performance remains critical.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
HR receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
HR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+62.4%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 10.8%) are partially offset by negative revenue growth (-6.9%), soft profitability (net margin -20.8%), very low insider ownership of 0.59%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
HR's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (10.8% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is HR's strongest growth driver at +62.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-6.9%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-49.8%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 115.3% and approximately 98.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.59%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 16.00%
Cohen & Steers Inc 15.54%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 8.35%
State Street Corp 4.98%
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. 4.67%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
HR generates approximately $-336 of gross profit, $80 of operating income, and $108 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 1.37%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
HR has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
