Agilon Health (AGL) Reports Q2 Loss, Misses Revenue Estimates
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -127.27%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this senior-focused health care company would post a loss of $0.01 per share when it actually produced break-even earnings, delivering a surprise of +100%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Agilon, which belongs to the Zacks Medical Services industry, posted revenues of $1.39 billion for the quarter ended June 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.98%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.48 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times 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.
Agilon shares have lost about 10.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6.1%.
What's Next for Agilon?
While Agilon 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 Agilon was mixed. 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 #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with 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 -$0.11 on $1.46 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and -$0.28 on $5.95 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 top 32% 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.
Progyny (PGNY), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2025. The results are expected to be released on August 7.
This provider of fertility and family building benefits is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.44 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +2.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 4.1% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Progyny's revenues are expected to be $322.5 million, up 6.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Britain's M&S restores click and collect services 15 weeks after systems hacked
LONDON (Reuters) -British retailer Marks & Spencer has resumed taking click and collect orders for clothing after a 15-week hiatus following a cyber hack and data theft. The 141-year-old M&S stopped taking orders through its website and app for clothing and home deliveries and collection from stores on April 25, three days after disclosing it was managing a "cyber incident". It resumed taking online orders for delivery on June 10 but click and collect services, which allow customers to order items online and pick up in stores, had remained suspended. M&S's website said on Monday that click and collect had resumed. The company did not respond immediately to a request for comment. In May, M&S forecast the hacking of its systems would cost it about 300 million pounds ($404 million) in lost operating profit in its 2025/26 financial year, though it hopes to halve the impact through insurance and cost control. As part of its management of the hack and data theft, M&S took other systems offline. That reduced both clothing and food availability in stores, further denting sales. Rivals, such as Next in clothing and Sainsbury's in food, have been beneficiaries. M&S CEO Stuart Machin told investors in early July the group would be over the worst of the fallout from the incident by August. Shares in M&S are down 12% so far this year. ($1 = 0.7424 pounds)

CNBC Daily Open: The U.S. government gets a slice of the AI pie
U.S. markets continue to ride the artificial intelligence wave, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closing at fresh all-time highs Friday and other major indexes also rising. The seismic shifts from the AI wave can be felt everywhere — from fueling the rise of new billionaires at a record pace to drastically changing the cybersecurity and defense landscape and how governments are looking to gain from the boom. No wonder semiconductors powering AI have become an important piece on the trade chess board. In fact, the U.S. government is trying to profit from allowing chip companies access to the large Chinese market. On Wednesday, reportedly Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House and agreed to give the federal government a 15% cut of its sales in China. Another chipmaker, AMD, agreed to the same deal. Nvidia, meanwhile, has been fending off allegations from Chinese state media that its H20 AI chips pose a national security risk for China as it looks to resume sales to the country. While investors appear to be cheering on AI stocks — Nvidia gained over 1% Friday — they are also bracing for a data-heavy week ahead. The consumer price index, out Tuesday, will be particularly in focus as it could offer clarity on the Federal Reserve's rate path. Nvidia refutes security risk allegations. The chip giant pushed back Sunday after an account affiliated with the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said its chips were not safe and had a "remote shutdown" function. U.S. stocks post a winning week. On Friday, the Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.98% to a fresh record high. The S&P 500 also gained to close just a few points shy from a new record. Asia-Pacific markets traded subdued Monday as the U.S.-China tariff truce deadline loomed. Nvidia and AMD agree to pay 15% of China chip sales to the U.S. The chipmakers will receive export licenses in exchange, in an unprecedented arrangement with the White House, according to the Financial Times. Loud luxury makes a comeback. High-end brands are pivoting to visible opulence in a bid to woo shoppers as they grapple with multiple headwinds, including trade tariffs and soft consumer sentiment. [PRO] Data-heavy week for Wall Street. The latest consumer price index is set to release Tuesday, and the producer price index is due out Thursday. Investors also await other economic data such as retail sales, as they assess whether the Federal Reserve will cut rates in September. SoftBank founder Son makes his biggest bet by staking the Japanese giant's future on AI Masayoshi Son is betting that his brainchild, SoftBank, will be the center of a revolution driven by artificial intelligence. Son says artificial superintelligence — AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans — will be here in 10 years. He's made a career out of big plays; notably, one was a $20 million investment into Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba in 2000 that has made billions for SoftBank. Now, the billionaire is hoping to replicate that success with a series of investments and acquisitions in AI firms that will put SoftBank at the center of a fundamental technological shift.
