Top 20 Falling Stocks with Unusual Volume

8. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACHC)

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. is a behavioral healthcare services provider. It operates and develops comprehensive treatment centers, acute inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, and specialty treatment facilities comprising residential recovery facilities and eating disorder facilities. The firm’s stock is down 11.71% in a week on a relative volume of 3.17.

The company earned an upgrade at the start of this year. KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Matthew Gillmor upgraded the firm from Sector Weight to Overweight on the back of an expected potential momentum of its EBITDA in 2026. He assigned a price target of $70 to ACHC.

Analyst Matthew Gillmor stated:

“We think valuation can begin to normalize during 2025 (to >9x), as negative press headlines from 2024 fade and 2026 EBITDA comes into focus.”

A similar sentiment was shown by another analyst only a few days ago. Guggenheim analyst Jason Cassorla upgraded the stock to Buy with a price target of $36. He was optimistic about the long-term outlook of the industry.

The company’s valuation seems attractive regardless of the current market conditions. However, there is no meaningful short-term catalyst for the business itself, so the direction of the broader market may well determine investor returns in this case.
