IHS Holding Ltd (IHS) shares tumbled 5.04% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its second quarter 2025 earnings report. The company's earnings per share (EPS) fell short of analyst expectations, overshadowing its revenue growth and full-year guidance.

The telecom infrastructure company reported Q2 EPS of $0.10, significantly below the FactSet estimate of $0.17. This earnings miss appears to be the primary driver of the stock's pre-market decline. Despite the disappointing bottom line, IHS Holding reported increased revenues and net income for the first half of 2025, indicating strong operational performance and profitability growth.

In its guidance, IHS Holding projected full-year 2025 revenue in the range of $1.70 billion to $1.73 billion, which aligns with the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.71 billion. However, this outlook, while solid, may not have been enough to offset concerns about the earnings shortfall. Investors will likely be watching closely for any additional information or management commentary that could provide more context to the company's financial performance and future prospects.
