Conduent Inc (NASDAQ:CNDT) Reports Mixed Q2 2025 Results: Revenue Misses but EPS Beats Estimates

Conduent Incorporated (NASDAQ:CNDT) reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, delivering mixed performance relative to analyst expectations. The business process solutions provider posted revenue of $754 million, falling short of the consensus estimate of $778.9 million. However, the company’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.13 outperformed the anticipated -$0.1479, suggesting some cost discipline despite top-line weakness.

Key Financial Metrics vs. Estimates

• Revenue: Reported $754M vs. estimated $778.9M (miss by 3.2%)
• EPS: Reported -$0.13 vs. estimated -$0.1479 (beat by ~12%)
• Adjusted EBITDA Margin: 4.9%
• Pre-Tax Loss: $(38)M

The revenue shortfall indicates ongoing challenges in demand or pricing pressures, while the narrower-than-expected loss points to potential operational efficiencies. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.9% suggests profitability remains constrained but stable.

Market Reaction

The stock is up 3.66% in pre-market trading, reflecting investor relief over the EPS beat despite the revenue miss. This reaction aligns with recent trends—shares have declined over the past month (-11.2%) and week (-10.5%), indicating that expectations were subdued heading into earnings. The pre-market bounce suggests traders may be interpreting the results as a sign of stabilization, though sustained gains will depend on future execution.

Forward-Looking Estimates

Analysts project:

• Q3 2025 Revenue: $820.1M
• Q3 2025 EPS: -$0.0714
• Full-Year 2025 Revenue: $3.229B
• Full-Year 2025 EPS: -$0.2958

No explicit outlook was provided in the press release, leaving investors to rely on these external estimates. The Q3 revenue forecast implies a sequential improvement, but the company will need to demonstrate stronger sales momentum to meet expectations.
