Regis Healthcare's (ASX:REG) net cash balance of AU$192 million and AU$3637 million in undrawn debt facilities support the company's fiscal 2028 target of acquiring around 1,000 beds and developing roughly 600 beds, according to a Thursday note by Jefferies.

On Wednesday, the company agreed to acquire two residential aged care homes with a total of 230 beds for around AU$45 million, expanding its portfolio to 74 freehold homes and around 8,400 beds.

This equates to a net price of about AU$196,000 per bed, below Jefferies' expectations of AU$216,000 per bed for the company's existing portfolio.

The company expects the deal to generate AU$6 million in underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization over a year once synergies are realized, Jefferies added.

Jefferies expects the company to remain net cash after completion of the deal.

The firm maintained a buy rating on Regis and raised its price target to AU$8.75 from AU$8.40.
