Why it ranks here

  • operating margin negative
  • total margin negative
  • under 30 days cash on hand
  • current ratio below 0.8
  • margin deteriorating
  • part of a multi-hospital chain — divestiture candidate
  • TX: favorable regulatory climate
  • urban — higher occupancy and iteration surface
  • bed count in the target band
  • ticket size at the top of the envelope — would need leverage
  • strong occupancy — good iteration surface
  • nonprofit — expect AG conversion review
