Community Health Systems reported a third-quarter 2026 net loss attributable to stockholders of $86 million, or $(0.63) per share, compared with net income of $130 million, or $0.96 per share, a year earlier. Net operating revenues fell 10.7% to $2.757 billion, which the company attributed in part to divestitures, and the company issued updated 2026 annual earnings guidance. CEO Kevin Hammons said payor mix and acuity did not develop as expected and negatively affected third-quarter results and expectations for the rest of the year, so shareholders face weaker near-term profitability. The guidance figures are not in the text provided.
