Auna: A Discounted Hospital Operator With An Insurance Twist

Auna trades at depressed valuations despite a stable, integrated insurance and hospital business spanning Peru, Colombia, and Mexico. Operational setbacks in Mexico and Colombia have pressured results, but recent management actions and Q1 trends indicate stabilization and recovery potential. AUNA's leverage remains high (net debt/EBITDA 3.7x), but recent debt restructuring, improved cash generation, and reduced capex support deleveraging.
