Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Community Health Systems stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Community Health have underperformed the industry in a year’s time. The company has seen a continuous decline in revenues that has been putting pressure on the bottom line. Rising expenses also weigh on the margins. The company has seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2018 earnings being revised downward in the last 60 days. However, the company is well poised for long-term growth on the back of its inorganic strategies. Frequent divestitures to streamline core operations have helped it lower its debt burden. As part of its restructuring plan, the company has started taking up certain corrective measures in order to bring improvement to its top line." (4/2/2018)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "With the successful completion of its 30-hospital divestiture plan in 2017, CYH now looks to divest another wave of hospitals with combined net revenue of $2 billion in 2018.
