Key catalyst

October 22 Investor Day • 2026-10-22

Base target: $6 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

Second-quarter adjusted EBITDA declined despite revenue growth. Talent and pharmacy costs, Peru billing penalties, Colombia risk-sharing margins and leverage could delay the recovery [#SEC-6K-2026-08-18].

Invalidation

Break below $4 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Sustained patient-volume growth, improving service mix, Colombia contract pricing and stronger cash conversion could support margin recovery and deleveraging. Auna reported first-half operating cash flow growth of 45% and leverage of 3.6x [#SEC-6K-2026-08-18].

Commentary

Cautious monitoring view. The company-confirmed operating picture is mixed: revenue and cash flow grew, but margins weakened. Reliable consensus-surprise, post-print analyst-revision and current options or social-sentiment data are unavailable. Zeroes in optional sentiment fields denote unavailable measurements, not neutral readings. The $5.05 anchor is the packet's October 7 adjusted close.

Second-half margin recovery
2026-12-31
Second-quarter revenue rose 9% FX-neutral while adjusted EBITDA fell 9%. Auna reaffirmed approximately 12% full-year FX-neutral revenue growth and expects adjusted EBITDA growth toward the low end of its 10%–14% range, excluding specified Peru billing penalties. Subsequent results must demonstrate recovery in Mexico service mix and Colombia contract profitability [#SEC-6K-2026-08-18] [#EARNINGS-TRANSCRIPT-2026Q2]. SEC-filed earnings release

Auna said it began mobilization for an asset-light Lima facility with an operating room, chemotherapy bays and capacity for 30 inpatient beds, targeting operation between late 2027 and early 2028. Timing, utilization and returns remain unproven [#SEC-6K-2026-08-18]. SEC-filed earnings release

Peers

Symbol	Summary
CYH	Hospital operator and the closest care-delivery candidate in the packet, but its US geography and payer mix limit valuation comparability.
OFIX	Similar market capitalization, but a medical-device company rather than an integrated hospital-and-health-plan operator; not a direct valuation peer.
