Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. (LTH) is up 3.9% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement. ([app.abbonews.com](https://app.abbonews.com/analyst-ratings?utm_source=openai))

The company’s strong second-quarter growth, raised 2026 outlook, and ongoing expansion plans likely made the positive research call more influential with investors.
