Analysis

U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc (USPH) currently trades at $80.05, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $21.77, implying the stock looks roughly 72.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc generated revenue of $788M at a net margin of 4.4%. Revenue grew 7.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.8%. Net debt stands at $390M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $16.33 (bear case) to $27.22 (bull case); at $80.05, the current price sits above 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 39% 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 -73%, USPH screens richer 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.
