COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS INC

Analysis for Ticker: CYH

Community Health Systems Inc operates healthcare systems in thirty-three markets across thirteen states including sixty-four affiliated hospitals with roughly nine thousand beds and over nine hundred sites of care. The company is a mathematical ghost where the total debt is 113% of its entire capitalization. Imagine a lemonade stand that makes 10$ but owes the bank 11$ and has to pay 2$ in interest every single day just to keep the stand open. The math is a disaster because the cost to borrow money is higher than the money they make fixing people and the people in charge are giving themselves free shares while the cash evaporates.
