Welltower shares are expected to move approximately 2.6% when the healthcare real estate investment trust reports earnings on October 26 after market close, according to Bloomberg options data. However, the stock has moved more than the options-implied estimate in six of its last eight earnings announcements, suggesting the potential for greater-than-expected volatility.
Historical results show mixed but often significant surprises. On February 10, options implied a 3.5% move, but the stock moved 10.9%. On July 28, 2025, the actual move reached 4.3% versus 2.6% implied, while on April 28, 2025, shares moved 2.9% against an implied 0.8%. More recently, the July 27 announcement produced only a 0.1% move despite options pricing in 1.9%.
These patterns suggest investors should prepare for potential price swings beyond current expectations around the upcoming earnings release.
