The market gave Universal Health Realty Income Trust a quiet vote of confidence today, with the stock up about 2% after its Q2 report. That move came against a healthcare REIT story that has often centered on pressure from weak interest coverage and a rich P/E multiple. The headline this quarter is not a flashy revenue surprise. It is steady Funds From Operations of about US$12.5 million and a 19% net margin that still leaves investors weighing a 6.59% yield against the ongoing strain on the...

OPKO Health just shocked the tape. The stock jumped about 33% to roughly US$1.65 in Tuesday trading, even though the company is still loss making.

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since 1983 and a large slice of that supply is currently off limits due to outages and aging infrastructure.
