The need for physical therapy will continue as there are more and more elderly people in the USA. Because of this, there will be a need for qualified professionals to help these people recover from illness, surgery, and other problems that face them.

The more elderly people there are, the more there will be that are sick.

The market in outpatient physical therapy is only going to expand over the next 30 years with our aging population. Popularity of outpatient therapy is also expanding. No one likes languishing in a hospital or moving into a nursing home and this is another option. Solid company leadership with renewed focus on the bottom line as well.

Stock has been cut in half b/c of execution missteps and concerns over Medicare reimbursement. New management has closed underperforming centers and is focusing on improving performance in its existing centers and opening new centers in better locations. Stock is trading at 5.8x LTM EBITDA and 0.88x sales. This compares to the 5 year averages of 8.7x and 1.61x respectively. Improved execution and favorable trends in outpatient physical therapy should help the stock rebound over time.

Found this stock in TMF after it fell off a 25% cliff and needed some therapy. But I agree with TMF analysis, and believe this stock will rehabilitate. Should be quite easy to stand tall again, since it seems like the only one in its industry. (Disc: I don't own USPH, because I tend to avoid stocks I've never heard of before. My portfolio is already risky enough as it is.)

I like this company as a turnaround play. They have a good amt of cash on the balance sheet, regularly buy back shares, have insider buying and are in a growth industry.

Solid fundamentals in a growth industry. My Yahoo! Finance Stock Screen says it should be a good long term play!
