Cencora's Boosts Annual Forecast On Strong Demand For Weight Loss Drugs, Specialty Products Despite Mixed Q2 Earnings
May 26, 2025 2:59 AM

Cencora, Inc ( COR ) on Wednesday reported second-quarter 2025 sales increased 10.3% to $75.5 billion, missing the consensus of $75.68 billion, primarily due to an 11.4% increase in revenue within the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment.

U.S. Healthcare Solutions revenue was $68.3 billion, due to overall market growth primarily driven by unit volume growth, including increased sales of products labeled for diabetes and/or weight loss in the GLP-1 class and specialty products to physician practices and health systems.

The company reported adjusted EPS of $4.42, up 16.3% year over year, beating the consensus of $4.11.

Adjusted gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $2.9 billion, a 15.2% year-over-year increase, due to the increase in gross profit in the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment, offset in part by the decrease in gross profit in the International Healthcare Solutions segment.

Adjusted gross profit margin was 3.86%, an increase of 16 basis points. Adjusted operating income was $1.2 billion, a 15.3% increase, driven by an increase in the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment, partially offset by a decrease in the International Healthcare Solutions segment. Margin was 1.58% in the fiscal 2025 second quarter, an increase of seven basis points when compared to the prior year quarter.

Guidance: Cencora ( COR ) updated its fiscal year 2025 financial guidance to reflect stronger earnings growth in the U.S. Healthcare Solutions segment and a lower contribution from the International Healthcare Solutions segment.

Cencora ( COR ) expects adjusted diluted EPS of $15.70-$15.95, up from prior guidance of $15.30-$15.60, compared to the consensus of $15.46.

International Healthcare Solutions segment revenue growth to be in the range of 3%-4%, down from the previous range of 4%-5%.

Adjusted consolidated operating income growth to be between 13.5%-15.5%, up from the previous range of 11.5%-13.5%.

COR Price Action: Cencora stock is up 4.71% at $304.505 at publication on Wednesday.
