Acadia raises 2026 guidance; Q3 revenue up 5.1%, diluted EPS down to $0.38

Mixed guidance 2.027.01

Acadia Healthcare reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $895.3 million, up 5.1% from a year earlier, while net income attributable to the company fell to $34.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, from $0.40. The company raised its full-year 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share, but the quarter included a $13.4 million favorable benefit from a Florida supplemental payment program accrual. Shareholders see higher revenue and a higher outlook alongside lower per-share profit in the quarter.

  • Q3 2026 revenue was $895.3 million, up 5.1%; same-facility revenue rose 5.2%.
  • Net income attributable to Acadia was $34.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, versus $0.40 a year earlier; adjusted EPS was $0.60 versus $0.72.
  • Full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance was raised to $1.70 to $1.80 from $1.45 to $1.60; adjusted EBITDA guidance was raised to $615 to $625 million from $590 to $615 million.

Mixed earnings Written later 2.027.01

Acadia Healthcare reported second-quarter 2026 results on July 28, 2026. Revenue was $865.8 million, roughly flat from a year earlier, while net income attributable to Acadia fell to $10.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, from $30.1 million, or $0.33, and Adjusted EBITDA dropped 26% to $149.2 million, including a $28.6 million professional and general liability reserve adjustment. The company raised the low end of its full-year 2026 ranges for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and operating cash flow, and lowered the top end of its capital expenditure range, which matters to shareholders because it shows weaker quarterly profit alongside a modestly higher outlook.

  • Revenue $865.8 million vs. $869.2 million in Q2 2025; same-facility revenue flat year over year
  • Net income attributable to Acadia $10.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, vs. $30.1 million, or $0.33, a year earlier
