Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Acadia Healthcare Company stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Acadia Healthcare’s second-quarter 2017 earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, mainly driven by an increase in same facility revenue, patient days and revenue per patient day. The company is well positioned for long-term growth on the back of its inorganic strategies. Its latest Priory acquisition has substantially enhanced its asset base, making it the largest independent provider of mental health services in the U.K. Its mixed product portfolio has helped in intensifying business risk. The company’s strong balance sheet, with increasing cash flow is another positive. Year to date, shares of Acadia Healthcare have outperformed the industry. But the company suffers from high debt, escalating interest expenses and foreign exchange fluctuation. Substantial integration risks associated with its frequent acquisitions are major headwinds." (8/1/2017)
• 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "ACHC’s weak 1Q17 organic growth and a slight revenue and adjusted EBITDA miss are measured against tough comps, which continue in 2Q17, but ease in the second half, assuming no further decline in the pound. Volumes, up 5.8%, were okay in the U.S., but essentially flat overseas, and 2Q16, when organic growth was also strong, could be a tough comparison." (4/26/2017)
