IHS Holding Ltd (NYSE: IHS) stock is soaring 6.14% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings report, which significantly exceeded analyst expectations. The telecommunications infrastructure company reported a remarkable turnaround in its financial performance, catching investors' attention.
IHS reported a profit of $0.73 per diluted share for Q4, a dramatic swing from a loss of $1.36 per share in the same period last year. This result crushed the FactSet analyst consensus estimate of $0.01 per share. Revenue for the quarter came in at $437.8 million, surpassing the expected $423.1 million, despite being lower than the $509.8 million reported a year earlier.
The company's strong performance and optimistic outlook are driving investor enthusiasm. For the full year 2025, IHS provided revenue guidance in the range of $1.68 billion to $1.71 billion, aligning with analyst expectations. The combination of better-than-expected earnings, revenue beat, and solid forward guidance appears to be fueling the significant pre-market rally in IHS Holding's stock price.
