🧠 The Insider Buzz: Paging Dr. Bullish
Over the past couple of months, Healthpeak insiders have been buying like it’s a clearance sale at the hospital gift shop:
👨⚕️ Tommy G. Thompson (Director): Bought 11,477 shares in May.
👩⚕️ Scott M. Brinker (CEO): Bought 14,087 shares in May and April.
🧑⚕️ Ava Lias-Booker, John T. Thomas, Katherine Sandstrom, Sara Lewis, Pamela Shelley-Kessler – all directors and all buyers.
💰 Total insider purchases since late April exceed $965,000.
🚑 When nearly every member of the board and C-suite buys in, it’s a signal. Not a guarantee, but a strong stethoscope-to-the-ground kind of signal.

🤔 Risks in the Waiting Room
-
📉 Valuation isn’t cheap
-
🧬 Biotech/lab demand soft, outpatient growth still maturing
-
🧱 Post-merger integration takes time, and execution risk remains
-
📉 High interest rates don’t exactly help REITs

📣 Verdict: "Yes, But No. Maybe. Kinda."
✅ Insiders are loading up.
✅ Institutions are holding tight.
✅ Cash flow is solid, and that dividend yield doesn’t lie.
❌ But the stock could be cheaper.
❌ Growth could stall.
❌ There might be better risk/reward elsewhere.
🧬 Diagnosis: Hold If You Have, Buy If You Must, But Don’t Expect Miracles (Or Do!)
Not dead money. But not a slam dunk either. Call it financial physical therapy—slow, steady, not very sexy, but it could pay off.
🚨 Disclaimer:
Investing involves risk. We're funny, not infallible. Proceed with insight—and maybe a second opinion.
