Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis

AI Summary
THC has shifted from a turnaround story to a durability test: its improved margins and earnings support upside only if free-cash-flow conversion improves and operating cash flow funds deleveraging rather than continued buybacks, as the $13.25B debt load leaves limited room for a reimbursement, labor, or volume setback near elevated share prices.
