What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (34/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • A fairly wide model range ($30.03 to $70.86) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Acadia Healthcare Company (ACHC) currently trades at $31.53, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $50.45, implying the stock looks roughly 60.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 34/100 (below-average quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Acadia Healthcare Company generated revenue of $3.4B at a net margin of -32.8%. Revenue grew 7.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -41.1%. Net debt stands at $2.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $30.03 (bear case) to $70.86 (bull case); at $31.53, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 176% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at 11% fair-value upside, at 60%, ACHC screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
