The IPO Buzz: Janus Living (JAN) Prices Upsized IPO at $20 – Top of Range

Janus Living (JAN), a senior housing REIT, upsized its IPO at pricing – to 42 million shares – up from 37 million shares in the prospectus – and priced the deal at $20.00 – the top of its $18.00-to-$20.00 range – to raise $840 million on Thursday night, March 19, 2026. The Denver-based senior housing REIT’s stock is expected to start trading tomorrow – Friday, March 20, 2026 – on the New York Stock Exchange.

The IPO’s size was increased 20 percent at pricing. The terms in the prospectus had called for the deal to bring in about $703 million – if priced at the $19.00 mid-point of its range.

At pricing, Janus Living had a market cap of about $5.14 billion.

BofA Securities and J.P. Morgan led the joint book-running team.

Wells Fargo Securities, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, RBC Capital Markets and Morgan Stanley were also joint book-runners, according to the prospectus.

Four cornerstone investors were in for up to $300 million of stock in the IPO at the IPO price: CenterSquare Investment Management, DWS Group, MFS Investment Management and PGIM.

The pricing followed another turbulent day on Wall Street. The three major U.S. stock indexes slid as investors sold stocks in reaction to recession fears after Iran hit a large LNG facility in Qatar.

Janus Living attracted strong interest from institutional and sector accounts. Some retail IPO players were enthused about the deal, too.

The company plans to pay a quarterly dividend, of 14.25 cents per share – or 57 cents per year, which equals a 3 percent dividend yield.

Unlike most retirement community and assisted living or nursing home facilities, Janus Living does not rely on government reimbursement programs to pay for its services. Its residents pay directly for the services, the prospectus said.

Janus Living, based in Denver, will be “the only U.S. publicly traded REIT focused exclusively on the senior housing sector and the only U.S. publicly traded REIT whose entire portfolio is owned and operated under RIDEA structures,” the company said in the prospectus.

Janus Living has “an initial portfolio consisting of 34 senior housing communities, comprised of 10,422 units as of Dec. 31, 2025,” the prospectus said.

“Our communities are located primarily in major retirement markets across 10 states, with units in Florida and Texas representing 69% (69 percent) of the total units as of Dec. 31, 2025. All of our communities are owned and operated under RIDEA structures. Services provided by our operators under a RIDEA structure are primarily paid for directly by the residents, rather than governmental reimbursement programs, which provides us with greater visibility into operating cash flow from our communities.”

Janus Living swung to a profit for 2025 from a loss in 2024.

For the year that ended Dec. 31, 2025, Janus Living reported net income of $6.3 million on revenue of $603.99 million.
