A strong second quarter saw revenue reach $1.44 billion and adjusted EPS hit $1.92, both exceeding expectations. Confidence in sustained demand and acquisition-driven growth prompted management to raise full-year EPS guidance to $7.75–$7.85 and revenue guidance to $5.87B–$5.92B. The quarter also brought 20 new facility acquisitions—all including real estate—expanding the portfolio to 398 operations. Robust liquidity, with $262.3 million in cash and $591.6 million available on the credit line, supports further expansion. This positive update arrives amid ongoing shareholder investigations and a DOJ probe, making the strong operational performance and raised outlook a critical counterpoint for investors.
