Aveanna Healthcare Holdings Inc. (AVAH) shares surged 26.35% to $11.44 in a single session driven by the company’s second-quarter financial results and an upward revision of its 2026 guidance. The stock hit a five-year high as the company reported revenue of $670.48 million, a 13.7% increase year-over-year, and a non-GAAP EPS of $0.22, which beat estimates by $0.05. The firm also raised its full-year revenue forecast to more than $2.68 billion.

What Happened

The stock’s sharp rise followed the release of the company’s Q2 2026 earnings report, which showed double-digit revenue growth and improved profitability. Aveanna Healthcare’s second-quarter net income reached $40.3 million, up from $27 million in the same period the previous year. The company attributed the strong performance to segment growth and robust cash flow. An 8-K filing on August 13 confirmed the updated guidance and provided detailed financial statements. Truist Securities also adjusted its price target for the stock to $11, maintaining a Hold rating.

The stock closed near its peak at $11.45, with a volume of 6.5 million shares, significantly higher than the 3-month average. The stock’s market cap is now $2.0 billion, with a P/E ratio of 7.2.
