The Ensign Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENSG) operates as a prominent healthcare provider specializing in skilled nursing, senior living, and rehabilitative services. The company is structured into two primary segments: Skilled Services and Standard Bearer. The Skilled Services segment offers comprehensive care, including short-term and long-term nursing for patients with chronic conditions and the elderly, along with specialized services such as on-site dialysis, ventilator care, and cardiac management. Additionally, this segment provides essential services including accommodations, nutritional programs, social activities, and recreational entertainment. The Standard Bearer segment focuses on leasing post-acute care facilities to healthcare operators, diversifying the companys revenue streams. Ensign also provides ancillary services like digital x-rays, ultrasounds, and pharmacy services, enhancing their holistic care approach. With operations across multiple U.S. states, the company has established a strong presence in the post-acute care sector, likely through strategic expansions and acquisitions. Headquartered in San Juan Capistrano, California, Ensign was incorporated in 1999 and has grown to become a key player in the healthcare industry.
Based on technical and fundamental analysis, the three-month forecast for ENSG indicates a potential rebound despite current bearish trends. Technically, the stocks price is below its 20, 50, and 200-day SMAs, suggesting short-term weakness. The Average True Range (ATR) of 3.88 indicates moderate volatility, signaling possible price fluctuations. However, fundamentally, the companys healthy return on equity (RoE) of 16.19% and a forward P/E of 20.49 suggest expected earnings growth, which may offset the current downturn. The price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 4.01 reflects market confidence in growth prospects. Considering these factors, ENSG is expected to trade within a range of $120 to $130 over the next quarter, balancing near-term challenges with longer-term growth potential.
