The stock's sharp rise was driven by the company reporting quarterly earnings and sales that exceeded analyst expectations. Acadia Healthcare posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.07 for Q4 2025, beating the consensus estimate of $0.06 by 20.69%. Quarterly revenue reached $821.459 million, surpassing the $800.065 million estimate by 2.67% and representing a 6.1% increase over the same period last year.
While the company reported a substantial net loss attributable to shareholders of $1.178 billion for the quarter, this was primarily due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $996.2 million.

The company also provided guidance for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2026, outlining its operational priorities and development plans.
