PACS Group, Inc.

PACS
Healthcare · Medical Care Facilities

PACS Group, Inc.'s three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +321.9% in a year while annual EPS moved +221.1% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (27 weeks in). Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +166.7% year on year, and 231% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

PACS Group, Inc. trades at $44.8, in a confirmed uptrend and 27 weeks into that stage. That is +31.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 95% of a 52-week range of $10 to $47. On relative strength it has been ahead of the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 7 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 27 of stage 2. At $44.8 it trades +31.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 95% of its 52-week range ($10–$47).

Aug 26: $44.8 Weekly closing price ($) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 2-year window.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2024 Each cell is one week from 2024 to now (122 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the S&P 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the S&P 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the S&P 500
Apr 24Aug 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 2.3 years the stock moved +87% while the S&P 500 moved +51% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 7 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.

PACS Group, Inc. trades at 28.8× P/E, against too little history to rank. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 28.8× is against too little history to rank. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +221.1% against a +321.9% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · Stage: Improving

Stage: Improving Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

PACS Group, Inc. reads as improving on its fundamental arc. Improving — profit growth bottomed 6 quarters ago at −25.0% and has held its recovery at +166.7% (single-quarter readings), ROCE lifting at 7.9%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +29.3% in FY25, profit +216.7% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: a sustained climb off the trough is the setup this page is built to catch — the question moves to what you pay for it.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

58.7/100 — rank 4 of 30 in Medical Care Facilities · 56% evidence confidence

PACS Group, Inc. scores 58.7 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Medical Care Facilities, ranking 4. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.9 + 13.3 + 9.1 + 14.4 = 58.7. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

PACS Group, Inc. reported $1.4 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +10.9% year on year. That is the 8th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 45.8% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $5.3 B. The last four reported quarters add to $5.4 B.

FY25 revenue came in at $5.3 B (+29.3% on the year), capping 4 years at 45.8% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $1.4 B, +10.9% year on year — the 8th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +23.1% growth against the decade's 45.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +30.4% over the last 4 quarters against +31.8%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +175.0% vs +41.4%/yr — accelerating.

06 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

PACS Group, Inc.'s operating margin is 8.5% in the Mar 26 quarter, +4.6 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across the last four quarters the operating margin has moved +2.7 percentage points. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 2.9% to 9.5%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 8.5%, +4.6 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 2.9%–9.5%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +2.7 pp year on year while gross margin went +3.6 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

PACS Group, Inc. earned $0.1 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +166.7% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.2 B. The 4-year compound rate is 39.6%. That is 5.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B.

Mar 26 profit was $0.1 B, +166.7% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.2 B (+216.7%), and the 4-year compound rate is 39.6%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +10.9% and the margin +4.6 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +91.7% vs revenue +23.1%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

08 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 231% of PACS Group, Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.4 B of operating cash against $0.2 B of profit. After $0.3 B of capital spending, $0.2 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.4 B against reported profit of $0.2 B, leaving free cash of $0.2 B after $0.3 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 231% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY25: CFO $0.4 B vs profit $0.2 B Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, $ B; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 5-year window, annual resolution.

Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.

Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.

09 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

PACS Group, Inc. does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $1.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 6.3% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.

On the investment side: capital spending of $1.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.

FY25: capex $0.3 B Capital spending per fiscal year, $ B (bars).

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

10 · Return on equity

Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.

PACS Group, Inc. earns a ROE of 20% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 7% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +3.3 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 3.6% net margin on 0.95× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is 20%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 7% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 3.6% net margin × 0.95× asset turns × 5.87× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 20.1% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 6.0% − 2.7% = a +3.3 pp spread. The 2.7% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.

11 · Dividend

Dividend A dividend is cash paid out per share. Dividend per share is the declared amount for the period; the trailing twelve-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

PACS Group, Inc. has 2 quarters of declared dividends on file — too few for a trailing-twelve-month figure. The most recent declaration was $0.22 for Dec 24.

PACS Group, Inc. has declared a dividend in 2 of the last 12 reported quarters, most recently $0.22 for Dec 24. That is fewer than four quarters, so no trailing-twelve-month total is shown rather than one built from a partial year.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

PACS Group, Inc. carries total debt of $3.3 B against shareholder equity of $1.0 B as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 3.21. On the annual view that ratio went from 4.76 in FY21 to 3.62 in FY25. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

13 · Ownership

Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.

9.5% of PACS Group, Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 4.4 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.

The latest reading: 9.5% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 4.4 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.

Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

PACS Group, Inc.: the Z-score reads 1.68. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits inside the distress zone. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

🚨 Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.68 is inside the distress zone — the balance sheet is a real risk, not a detail.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 1.68.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
