Did the company provide guidance for Q3 and full‑year 2025, and how does it compare to its prior guidance and consensus forecasts?
Answer
Based on the information supplied in the news release titled “LifeStance Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results,” the company’s announcement does not include any details about guidance for the third quarter (Q3) of 2025 or for the full‑year 2025. The release only states that LifeStance Health Group, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. No figures, outlook statements, or forward‑looking guidance are quoted in the excerpt you provided.
Because the release does not contain:
- Q3 2025 guidance (e.g., revenue, earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, or other performance metrics);
- Full‑year 2025 guidance (e.g., annual revenue, net income, adjusted EBITDA, or comparable‑company metrics);
- Any comparison to prior guidance that the company may have issued in earlier quarters or in prior press releases;
- Any reference to consensus analyst forecasts (e.g., Street‑level or FactSet expectations) for Q3 or the full year,
we cannot assess how any potential guidance would compare to the company’s earlier guidance or to the consensus forecasts that analysts were tracking.
What this means for your question
| Question Component | Information Available | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Did the company provide guidance for Q3 2025? | No guidance is mentioned in the provided excerpt. | No – the release does not contain Q3 guidance. |
| Did the company provide guidance for the full‑year 2025? | No guidance is mentioned in the provided excerpt. | No – the release does not contain full‑year guidance. |
| How does any guidance compare to prior guidance? | No prior guidance is referenced, nor is any new guidance presented. | Cannot compare – no guidance data is available. |

Bottom line: The news release you shared does not supply guidance for Q3 2025 or for the full‑year 2025, nor does it reference prior guidance or analyst consensus estimates. Consequently, a comparison to prior guidance or consensus forecasts cannot be made from this particular piece of information. If you have access to a more detailed press release, an earnings call transcript, or a supplemental filing (e.g., a Form 8‑K) that includes the guidance, those documents would be needed to answer the question fully.
