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 ($26.37 to $62.22) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Acadia Healthcare Company Inc (ACHC) currently trades at $28.38, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $44.30, implying the stock looks roughly 35.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 34/100 (below-average quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $46.29 per share, and 3 of the 8 models we run sit above the $28.38 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $14.20, and 5 of the 8 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Acadia Healthcare Company Inc 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 Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $26.37 (bear case) to $62.22 (bull case); at $28.38, 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 about 6% below its 52-week high and 148% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at −7% fair-value upside, at 56%, 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, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
