AI Summary

7.6
Positive

THC now looks less like a cyclical recovery and more like an execution-driven margin expansion story, with raised guidance, higher-acuity mix, and stronger cash generation signaling real operating leverage, but the stock's upside now depends on continued flawless delivery given the heavy balance sheet and sensitivity to labor/reimbursement pressure.
