Auna S.A. (AUNA) Beats Q2 Earnings Estimates
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +153.85%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.1 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.19, delivering a surprise of +90%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Auna S.A., which belongs to the Zacks Medical Services industry, posted revenues of $309 million for the quarter ended June 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $292 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Auna S.A. shares have lost about 9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.
What's Next for Auna S.A.?
While Auna S.A. has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Auna S.A. was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.20 on $330.33 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.76 on $1.2 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical Services is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
ModivCare (MODV), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2025.
This provider of government-sponsored social services is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -1700%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
ModivCare's revenues are expected to be $653.23 million, down 6.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the past 52 weeks, Edison's stock has declined by 33.3%. It had reached a 52-week high of $88.77 back in Sep. 2024, but is now down 37.3% from this high. This year, the stock is down by 30.3%. The stock has underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX), which has gained 16.1% and 9.7% over the same periods, respectively. Focusing our attention on the company's sector, we observe that the stock has also lagged behind the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU), which has gained 14.5% over the past 52 weeks and 12.6% year-to-date (YTD). The stock's downturn is most likely a result of the massive Eaton fire earlier this year. In addition, concerning the 2020 Bobcat fire, the SCE had to pay $82.5 million in settlements to compensate taxpayers for firefighting expenses and environmental restoration costs, as it was accused of negligence in maintaining its infrastructure. Nevertheless, Edison's stock popped nearly 2% after the company reported strong second-quarter results on Jul. 31. Its quarterly operating revenue increased by 4.8% year-over-year (YOY) to $4.54 billion, which was higher than the $4.19 billion that Wall Street analysts were expecting. The company reported core earnings per share of $0.97. While this figure was lower than the $1.23 reported a year earlier, it was higher than the $0.88 that analysts had expected. For the current year, ending in December 2025, Wall Street analysts expect a 23.1% YOY growth in its EPS to $6.07 on a diluted basis. The company has a mixed history of surpassing consensus estimates, topping them in three of the trailing four quarters and missing them on one occasion. Among the 15 Wall Street analysts covering Edison International's stock, the consensus is a 'Moderate Buy.' That's based on 10 'Strong Buy' ratings, four 'Hold' ratings, and one 'Strong Sell' rating. The configuration of the ratings is less bullish than it was three months ago, with one less 'Strong Buy' rating. After the company reported better-than-expected results for Q2, Barclays analyst Nicholas Campanella raised the price target on Edison International from $64 to $65, while maintaining the firm's 'Overweight' rating on the stock. Edison's mean price target of $66.25 indicates a 19.1% upside over current market prices. The Street-high price target of $86 implies a potential upside of 54.6%.

Looking closer, shares of State Street have also outpaced the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLF) 19.6% return over the past 52 weeks. Despite beating estimates with Q2 2025 adjusted EPS of $2.53 and revenue of $3.45 billion versus $3.38 billion expected, STT shares fell 7.3% on Jul. 15. Adjusted expenses rose 6.3% year-over-year, provisions for credit losses tripled to $30 million, and net interest income declined due to lower rates and an unfavorable deposit mix, leading to a 17-basis-point drop in net interest margin. For the fiscal year ending in December 2025, analysts expect STT's adjusted EPS to grow 13.6% year-over-year to $9.85. The company's earnings surprise history is promising. It beat the consensus estimates in the last four quarters. Among the 18 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a 'Moderate Buy.' That's based on eight 'Strong Buy' ratings, three 'Moderate Buys,' six 'Holds,' and one 'Moderate Sell.' On Aug. 14, Truist raised its price target on State Street to $125 with a 'Buy' rating. As of writing, the stock is trading below the mean price target of $116.70. The Street-high price target of $131 implies a potential upside of 17.4% from the current price levels.
