Frequently asked
Does Acadia Healthcare Company (ACHC) pay a dividend?+
No. Acadia Healthcare Company (ACHC) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2011, and nothing has been paid since.
How does Acadia Healthcare Company return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months Acadia Healthcare Company reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 1.7% buyback yield. A buyback returns value by shrinking the share count, so each remaining share owns more of the business, but unlike a dividend it pays you nothing in cash and can be stopped at any time without an announcement.
Could Acadia Healthcare Company afford to pay a dividend?+
Not currently. Acadia Healthcare Company's free cash flow is negative at -$292 million, meaning the business consumed cash over the period rather than generating it. A company funding a dividend from cash it is not producing would be paying shareholders out of its balance sheet or borrowings, which is not sustainable.
