Aristotle Small Cap Equity Strategy made the following comment about Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACHC) in its first quarter 2023 investor letter:

“Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACHC), a provider of behavioral health and addiction services to patients in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, declined following the company’s quarterly earnings results released during the period. While the company’s fundamentals continue to advance, it appears the share price overreaction following the release of company’s earnings can be attributed to some near-term labor cost headwinds that came in higher than expected during the period. Nevertheless, we maintain a position as we believe the company remains well positioned to capitalize on the favorable supply/demand outlook for behavioral health, positive reimbursement trends and continued execution of its growth strategy.”
