Summary U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. has seen valuation multiples compress significantly despite continued revenue growth and new strategic initiatives. U.S. Physical Therapy reported Q1 2026 revenue of $198.3M (+7.9% YoY) but missed EPS expectations due to higher costs from acquisitions and clinic startups.
