The Ensign Group, Inc. (NasdaqGS:ENSG) is looking for acquisition opportunities. During the first quarter fiscal year 2024 earnings conference call, Chad Keetch said that ?We continue to see a very healthy pipeline of new acquisition opportunities, and are lining up some exciting new additions that we expect to close in the second and third quarters. Our decentralized growth model is driven by leadership in each market who have a built-in incentive to attract talent, train them and then acquire operations that will be accretive to their clusters and ultimately, the entire organization.

As co-owners of the organization our team's bandwidth to acquire expands as they grow, and the model is not dependent on a centralized team of deal experts. This scalable approach to growth has allowed us to continue to acquire or lease new operations at disciplined prices, which has led to a cost structure that has allowed us to drive consistent organic growth over time at healthy margins?.
