Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AUNA

09/25/2026: AUNA (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Auna S.A. is a Latin American provider of high-complexity healthcare, operating a dual model of hospitals and health plans. The company's primary strength lies in its integrated payer-provider approach, particularly within specialized segments like oncology. Its main growth story centers on regional expansion across Peru, Colombia, and Mexico. However, investors face risks from high leverage required to fund this expansion, currency volatility, and regional regulatory pressures. The stock may suit growth-oriented investors looking for exposure to emerging market healthcare, but they should monitor debt management and the successful integration of recent acquisitions to determine long-term sustainability.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AUNA receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AUNA has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-11.5%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 3.7%), slightly negative revenue growth (-0.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AUNA's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (3.7% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
AUNA's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -0.0% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-11.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-72.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 80.1% and approximately 91.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.82% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 44.34%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AUNA has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
