FAQ

Why Very Bearish?

The major decline in ACHC's stock price indicates significant loss of investor confidence, closely mirroring past incidents such as the case of Purdue Pharma, where health-related legal issues severely impacted stock valuation. Historical precedents suggest fiduciary issues and operational misconduct typically lead to sustained negative price pressure.

How important is it?

The ongoing legal investigation and associated fraud allegations pose a significant threat to ACHC's market value, as they raise substantial questions regarding corporate governance and ethical practices. The direct link to patient treatment practices impacts not only legal standing but also public perception, heavily influencing investor sentiment.

Why Short Term?

Given the immediate fallout from the news, investors will likely react quickly to sell positions. Previous instances of similar disclosures led to rapid share price declines; thus, short-term sentiment remains fundamentally negative.

According to the complaint, during that time period "Acadia admitted and held patients against their will in its facilities, and kept patients beyond the length of time that was medically necessary-an undisclosed scheme to deceive payors into continuing to pay for such patients' care."The complaint reports that, on September 1, 2024, "the truth began to emerge when The New York Times (the "NY Times") published an article entitled "How a Leading Chain of Psychiatric Hospitals Traps Patients."

Following this report, shares of Acadia's common stock declined more than 4.5% in value, to close on September 3, 2024 at $78.21 per share.Subsequently, through a series of additional disclosures in September and October 2024 - which included additional NY Times articles and governmental requests for information - shares of the company's stock declined in value to $42.69 per share.The investigation seeks to determine whether the members of Acadia's board of directors violated the securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the above alleged misconduct and disclosures.Current Acadia stockholders who purchased or acquired ACHC shares prior to January 1, 2023 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D.
