## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 22.4×** (5-yr avg 91.8×, 3-yr avg 148.4×). Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated trades at 22.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 91.8×: cheap by its own standards.

- **PEG: 0.28**. A PEG of 0.28 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.4×.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 4.2%**. 4.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 134.8%** (3-yr -53.8%/yr, 5-yr -36.9%/yr). Earnings per share rose 134.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
