Auriga maintains a 'Hold' on Community Health (NYSE: CYH) price target lowered by $2 to $24.00.
Auriga analyst says, "CYH reported non-GAAP EPS of $0.90 (based on our calculation), considerably above our and consensus estimates of $0.85/$0.82. We note that lower tax rate and share count helped by about $0.05. Nevertheless, a 4Q consensus beat, highlighted by better than expected cost management which drove EBITDA margin above expectations. 2012 guidance is as expected, but we note that CYH is usually conservative. We reiterate our Hold rating due to the overhang created by government investigation with a timeline and settlement that we cannot estimate."
