Fresenius Medical Care

Overview

Fresenius Medical Care continues to expand well into the twenty first century with growing revenues in a historically stable industry. They are a top-leading dialysis provider, alongside their well-known competitor DaVita. In terms of net lease investing, they offer lower pricing and high demand for leases; since they are connected with medical dialysis, the outlook denotes a strong and secure future. One of the benefits to be found is that kidney dialysis is a specialized medical field; for this reason there are unique equipment installations within the structures themselves required to operate. This further results in the tenants typically remaining when their leasing terms renew. Additionally, this enhances a strong point of opportunity since regular visits are often required for patients. Taken together, the potential upsides tend towards positive revenue growth.
