Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Community Health Systems share price today? Community Health Systems, Inc.'s share price was $2.05 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 32.1% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $2 and $4, and at that close it was at the low of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 2 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −43% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 23 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Community Health Systems pay? Community Health Systems, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Community Health Systems on? Community Health Systems is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Community Health Systems profitable? Community Health Systems, Inc. earned $104 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −67.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $676 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 16.4% a year on average. That is 3.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $320 M. 5 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Community Health Systems make, and is it growing? Community Health Systems, Inc. reported $2.8 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −9.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 0.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $12.5 B. The last four reported quarters add to $12.0 B. FY25 revenue was $12.5 B, −1.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −5.2% on average, against 0.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −5.3%, against −2.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Community Health Systems keep? Community Health Systems, Inc.'s operating margin was 7.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 5.9% and 10.3%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.0 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.7 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Community Health Systems' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 121% of Community Health Systems, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $543 M of operating cash against $676 M of profit. After $335 M of spending on assets, $208 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Community Health Systems' cash go? Community Health Systems, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.2 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 3.1% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $1.2 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Community Health Systems' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Community Health Systems, Inc.'s P/E is 7.9×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Community Health Systems business getting better or worse? Community Health Systems, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. The return-on-capital line is not shown: net worth is negative, so a return on capital means nothing. The balance sheet is in distress, and this reading uses the growth lines alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Community Health Systems earn on its capital? Community Health Systems, Inc. earned a ROE of −81% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 5.4% net margin and 0.95× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 5.4% net margin × 0.95× asset turnover × −15.78× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −81.0% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 3.8% − 4.1% = −0.3 percentage points. The 4.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 3.8% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 8.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Community Health Systems have too much debt? Community Health Systems, Inc.'s net worth is negative: it owes more than it owns, so a debt-to-equity ratio means nothing here. Year by year, that ratio went from −15.83 in FY21 to −13.19 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Community Health Systems shareholding pattern? 14.8% of Community Health Systems, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 10.5 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Community Health Systems from balance-sheet trouble? For Community Health Systems, Inc., the Z-score is 0.89. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.89 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Community Health Systems rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Community Health Systems, Inc. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Medical Care Facilities. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Community Health Systems compared with?
