Analysis:
rates Community Health Systems as a
. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, solid stock price performance, increase in net income and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- CYH's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 18.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 52.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Providers & Services industry. The net income increased by 254.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $28.18 million to $100.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 50.70% to $976.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow of 50.70%, COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS INC is still growing at a significantly lower rate than the industry average of 105.25%.
