ClearBridge Investments made the following comment about Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“We also increased our exposure to the health care sector through the inclusion of Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC), the third-largest for-profit hospital in the U.S. We believe the company is fundamentally undervalued relative to its peers and, as pressures on margins stemming from labor shortages and wage inflation peak, we believe the new management’s team focus on its high-growth ambulatory surgery center business should help it deliver positive free cash flow in 2023. We are also encouraged by the possibility that by applying these funds to deleverage the company’s balance sheet, Tenet should be able to reduce its elevated cost of capital and compound its current valuation.”
