Acadia Healthcare’s Wild 2025 Ride: Activist Investor Shake-Up, Stock Surge & Mental Health Market Frenzy

Acadia Healthcare shares surged nearly 9% on September 24, 2025, after Engine Capital disclosed a 3% stake and called for board changes and asset sales. The stock’s rally followed a 70% drop from 2022 highs and a year-to-date decline of 41%. Acadia’s board hired Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan as advisors.

  • 1 Stock Under $50 to Watch and 2 to Avoid This Week
    April 2, 2026, 1:20 PM EDT. Sensata Technology Holdings (ST) and Select Medical (SEM) face challenges including declining sales, sluggish growth, and high leverage that make them less attractive investments. Sensata's sales dropped 4.4% annually over two years and its gross margin is just 29.3%. Select Medical shows falling admissions and earnings per share, with a risky net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6×. Conversely, GitLab (GTLB) stands out with 26.4% annual recurring revenue growth, a 120% net revenue retention rate, and a strong gross margin of 87.4%. Trading at $22.30 with a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 3.3, GitLab offers a compelling growth story under $50. Investors should weigh these dynamics carefully when considering mid-sized stocks in this price range.
