Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 25 days.
The thesis — published October 23, 2025
PACS is a risky, short-term rebound idea with leadership concerns. On 9-24, shares fell 29% after the CFO quit over policy violations. On 10-01, the NYSE gave more time to file and the company projected record first-half revenue. Price momentum is weak and a 10-09 valuation review raised flags. We will wait for clean filings and clear price strength before adding over the next 0-3 months.

- NYSE gave more time; aiming for record first-half sales (10-01)
