Quorum Health's share price has dropped 86% this year

In the last year, Brentwood, Tenn.-based Quorum Health's share price has dropped by 86 percent, according to investor publication Simply Wall Street.

2019 was particularly difficult, and the for-profit hospital operator has been struggling to lift its share price for years, according to the report. 

Simply Wall Street reported that in the last three-year period Quorum Health shareholders have seen a 53 percent annualized share price decline. 

"The three-year loss of 53 percent per year isn't as bad as the last 12 months, suggesting that the company has not been able to convince the market it has solved its problems," Simply Wall Street reports. "We would be wary of buying into a company with unsolved problems, although some investors will buy into struggling stocks if they believe the price is sufficiently attractive."

Quorum ended the third quarter of 2019 with a net loss of $76 million, according to its most recent financial results
