Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Community Health Systems, Inc. trades at $2.92, which is 109% below the $6.09 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a valuation model is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.
Our moat model scores it 23 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 1.5 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Common questions
Is Community Health Systems, Inc. (CYH) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $6.09, CYH at $2.92 is 109% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own CYH?
8 of the institutions we track reported a position in CYH in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is CYH's P/E ratio?
CYH trades at 1.5 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
When does CYH report earnings next?
Community Health Systems, Inc. is scheduled to report on 22 Oct 2026. Companies move earnings dates, so read it as scheduled rather than certain.
