PHP: buy the bonds, not the shares

With the shares now trading on a hefty premium, we are downgrading doctors' landlord Primary Health Properties
September 26, 2012

NHS landlord Primary Health Properties (PHP) has been expanding at a furious rate over the past few months, issuing first equity and then retail bonds to fund the purchase or construction of primary health facilities. The latest announcement concerns the development of a new 10 GP practice in Stourbridge, West Midlands, for £8.5m, which PHP has agreed to finance in exchange for a 25-year lease.
