Best-in-class skilled-nursing operator compounding revenue ~18% with 15.4% ROE, low debt and surging cash flow — quality growth at 26.3x.

Revenue $5.03B · FY2025

The read

Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~22% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.

The Ensign Group is a serial-acquirer operator of skilled-nursing and senior-living facilities with one of the most consistent growth records in healthcare services. FY2025 revenue grew 18.8% to $5.03B — roughly doubling from $2.63B in FY2021 — with net income up 15.4% to $344M and operating income up 18.7% to $425M. Crucially, operating cash flow surged 62.5% to $564M, well ahead of earnings, signaling high-quality conversion as acquired facilities mature and occupancy/skilled-mix improve under Ensign's decentralized operating model.
