Community Health ( (CYH) ) has provided an announcement.
Community Health Systems reported fourth-quarter 2025 net operating revenues of $3.106 billion, down 4.9% year-on-year, but turned a net income of $110 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared with a loss a year earlier, helped by gains on asset sales despite lower volumes and a decline in adjusted EBITDA to $395 million. For full-year 2025, net operating revenues slipped 1.2% to $12.485 billion, yet the company swung to net income of $509 million, or $3.77 per diluted share, from a $516 million loss in 2024, as it benefited from portfolio rationalization, legal-settlement proceeds and improved reimbursement, even as adjusted EBITDA edged down to $1.526 billion and volumes softened.
The company further strengthened its balance sheet by redeeming a total of $445 million of 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 and retiring remaining 5.625% notes due 2027, leaving about $1.78 billion of the 2032 issuance outstanding as of mid-February 2026. In 2025 it divested equity stakes in multiple hospitals, sold four additional hospitals, monetized its ambulatory outreach lab business to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings for $194 million, and completed the sale of three Pennsylvania hospitals to Tenor Health Foundation effective February 1, 2026, underscoring a strategic shift toward a leaner hospital portfolio and reduced leverage.
The most recent analyst rating on (CYH) stock is a Buy with a $3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Community Health stock, see the CYH Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on CYH Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CYH is a Neutral.
The score is held back mainly by balance-sheet risk (negative equity/high leverage) and weak technical trend (below major moving averages, negative MACD). These are partly offset by inexpensive valuation (very low P/E) and a reasonably positive operating narrative from the latest earnings call plus cash-generating corporate actions (notably the $623M asset sale).
