At US$3.07, Is Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CYH) Worth Looking At Closely?
Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CYH), is not the largest company out there, but it led the NYSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock's share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let's take a look at Community Health Systems's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.
社區健康系統公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:CYH)並不是目前最大的公司,但它在過去幾週中以相對較大的價格上漲帶領紐約證券交易所上漲。由於許多分析師都在報道該股,我們可能預計,任何對價格敏感的公告都已計入該股的股價。但是,如果還有機會買入呢?讓我們根據最新的財務數據來看看社區衛生系統的前景和價值,看看機會是否仍然存在。

What Is Community Health Systems Worth?
社區衛生系統的價值是什麼?
Great news for investors – Community Health Systems is still trading at a fairly cheap price according to my price multiple model, where I compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. I've used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there's not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock's ratio of 1.71x is currently well-below the industry average of 22.88x, meaning that it is trading at a cheaper price relative to its peers. However, given that Community Health Systems's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
對投資者來說是個好消息——根據我的多價模型,社區健康系統的交易價格仍然相當便宜,我將公司的市盈率與行業平均水平進行了比較。我之所以使用市盈率,是因爲沒有足夠的可見性來預測其現金流。該股的比率爲1.71倍,目前遠低於行業平均水平的22.88倍,這意味着與同行相比,其交易價格更便宜。但是,鑑於社區衛生系統的份額相當不穩定(即其價格相對於其他市場的價格變動被放大),這可能意味着價格可能會下跌,從而使我們有機會在未來再次買入。這是基於其高貝塔值,這是衡量股價波動的良好指標。

Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it's the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Community Health Systems, at least in the near future.
當你考慮買入股票時,未來前景是一個重要的方面,特別是如果你是尋求投資組合增長的投資者。儘管價值投資者會爭辯說,最重要的是相對於價格的內在價值,但更有說服力的投資論點是以低廉的價格獲得高增長潛力。但是,由於預計未來幾年利潤將出現極其負的兩位數變化,因此短期增長肯定不是買入決定的驅動力。看來社區衛生系統面臨很大的不確定性,至少在不久的將來是如此。
What This Means For You
這對你意味着什麼
Are you a shareholder? Although CYH is currently trading below the industry PE ratio, the negative profit outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to CYH, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
你是股東嗎?儘管CYH目前的交易價格低於行業市盈率,但負面的利潤前景確實帶來了一些不確定性,這意味着風險更高。我建議你考慮是否想增加投資組合對CYH的敞口,或者分散投資其他股票是否是提高總體風險和回報的更好舉措。
Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on CYH for a while, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you dig deeper into the stock. Given its current price multiple, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
你是潛在的投資者嗎?如果你關注CYH已有一段時間了,但對實現飛躍猶豫不決,我建議你更深入地研究這隻股票。考慮到其當前的價格倍數,現在是做出決定的好時機。但請記住未來負增長前景所帶來的風險。
