Where PACS is headed
The baby boomer wave isn't coming. It's here. The first boomers turn 80 in 2026, and the 80+ population in the US grows roughly 4% annually through 2030. Skilled nursing facility (SNF) supply has been shrinking for a decade as mom-and-pop operators retire, fail audits, or sell to whoever will take the keys. Demand curve up and to the right, supply curve flat to down. That is the setup PACS is operating into, and it is the single most important thing about this stock.
