    JUSTIFIEDCONFIDENCE5/5

    CYH fell 22.2% on the day and another 16.9% in five minutes after reporting a sharply wider-than-expected Q3 loss and a sales miss. The 380% EPS miss and 10.7% year-over-year revenue decline provide a concrete catalyst broadly consistent with the magnitude of the selloff.

    WHYDown 22.2% on a 380% EPS miss and falling revenue is a large but proportionate reaction to materially disappointing results.
