Community Healthcare price target raised to $23 from $22 at Truist

Truist analyst Michael Lewis raised the firm’s price target on Community Healthcare (CHCT) to $23 from $22 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Truist noted that Community Healthcare’s stock price has steadied in the past three months and the firm thinks it can benefit from short-term interest rate cuts due to the company’s sticky, high acquisition cap rates partially funded with a material balance on a floating-rate credit facility. The firm added that it thinks there could be high upside if/when the Assurance Health assets are fully resolved. The best-case scenario would be one that includes salvaging the value of the loan to the tenant, Truist told investors in a research note.
