Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LTH

09/25/2026: LTH (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Life Time Group Holdings Inc is a premium athletic country club operator that offers a comprehensive 'healthy way of life' ecosystem through large-scale physical facilities. The company's strengths include a loyal member base, diverse ancillary service offerings, and a successful strategy of integrating popular social sports like pickleball. Its primary growth story revolves around expanding its premium footprint into high-income suburban areas and scaling its digital wellness platform. However, investors must weigh these opportunities against significant execution risks, high capital intensity, and a debt-laden balance sheet. The stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate volatility and are monitoring the company's ability to deleverage while maintaining membership growth.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LTH receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LTH has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+139.2%) and solid revenue growth (+14.3%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -0.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LTH's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 31.6% of revenue). Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is LTH's strongest growth driver at +139.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+14.3%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-141.4%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 93.3% and approximately 92.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 12.68% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 9.85%
TPG GP A, LLC 7.98%
LEONARD GREEN PARTNERS LP 4.93%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 4.11%
Atairos Group, Inc 3.92%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LTH generates approximately $476 of gross profit, $161 of operating income, and $-7 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 24.28%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
LTH has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
