National Health Investors

1. Interest Rate Risk: National Health Investors are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. As interest rates increase, the value of existing NHI investments decreases, potentially leading to decreased profitability.

2. Regulatory Risk: National Health Investors operate in heavily regulated industries and must adhere to strict rules and regulations set by various government agencies. As such, changes in these regulations can have a significant negative impact on NHI operations and profitability.

3. Competition Risk: National Health Investors face intense competition from private equity firms, investing banks, and other private investors seeking to invest in healthcare-related real estate. As such, these competitors may be able to offer potential customers more favorable financing or other terms, thereby impacting NHI’s ability to successfully acquire and manage properties.

4. Macroeconomic Risk: The macroeconomic environment can significantly impact the profitability of NHI investments. Slowing economic growth, inflationary pressures, and rising unemployment may all significantly reduce the profitability of existing investments, as well as make it more difficult to secure new investments.

5. reputational Risk: National Health Investors may face reputational risk due to negative publicity or media coverage related to their operations and investments. Such publicity may adversely affect the public perception of the company, potentially leading to decreased investor confidence and lower stock prices.
