LUXEMBOURG - Latin American healthcare provider Auna S.A. (market capitalization: $478 million) has expanded its insurance network across Mexico through new partnerships with leading medical institutions, according to a press release statement issued Wednesday. The company, which maintains a healthy EBITDA of $253 million, has shown strong operational performance according to InvestingPro data.
The company has formed alliances with Médica Sur in Mexico City, San Javier in Guadalajara, Simnsa in Tijuana, Centros Médicos de Especialidades in Ciudad Juárez, and four additional medical centers in León, Mérida, Querétaro, and Puebla. These partnerships allow Auna to provide its OncoMexico members with integrated care across Mexico’s major urban centers.
Auna has also partnered with Welbe, a digital platform for managing preventive care appointments, to enhance patient access nationwide.
The company plans to invest approximately $500 million in Mexico’s principal cities over the next three to five years to build additional capacity and integrate its healthcare services. To fund this expansion and improve its capital structure, Auna intends to meet with debt and equity investors in the coming months to evaluate financing alternatives. Trading at a P/E ratio of 7.08 and showing strong free cash flow yields, analysis suggests the stock may be undervalued.
The company stated it aims to limit leverage to three times Net Debt-to-EBITDA upon completion of any potential financings, though it noted there is no assurance these financings will be completed. Currently, Auna maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.34, with InvestingPro analysis revealing additional financial health metrics and growth indicators available to subscribers.
Auna recently listed its class A shares on the Lima Stock Exchange and reports meeting eligibility criteria for inclusion in three MSCI indices, though inclusion is not guaranteed.
Founded in 1989, Auna operates in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia with 31 healthcare facilities including hospitals and wellness centers. As of June 30, 2025, the company’s network included 2,323 beds and 1.4 million health plan members.
In other recent news, Auna SAA ADR reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The company experienced a notable increase in adjusted net income alongside a modest rise in revenue. Despite facing economic uncertainties in significant markets such as Mexico, Auna continues to expand its oncology services. The company maintains a robust presence in Latin America, demonstrating resilience in its operations. These developments highlight Auna’s strategic focus on growth and service expansion in the region. The earnings report reflects the company’s ability to navigate challenging economic conditions while achieving financial growth. Investors may find the company’s continued expansion efforts significant as it strengthens its foothold in Latin America.
