Activist investor Engine Capital has urged Acadia Healthcare's board to consider an asset sale and appoint new directors. Engine Capital, which holds a 3% stake in the company, criticized Acadia's poor returns linked to its 2022 reorganization. The investor is advocating for significant governance changes, including board refreshment, cost-cutting measures, and asset sales to repurchase undervalued shares. Following the news, Acadia's shares rose 4.5% in premarket trading.
