Answer
Based on the information you supplied – the headline, brief summary, and metadata for the Business Wire release titled “Toast Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results” – there is no mention of forward guidance for the third quarter of 2025 (Q3 2025) or for the full‑year 2025.
Why the answer is “No, the news does not indicate guidance”
| Piece of the news | What it tells us | Does it include forward guidance? |
|---|---|---|
| Title – “Toast Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results” | Announces Q2 2025 results; the focus is on the just‑completed quarter. | No guidance referenced. |
| Summary – “BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toast Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results” | Reiterates the same point; no additional detail is provided. | No guidance referenced. |
| Symbol, Category, Provider, Publication date | Administrative metadata (ticker = TOAST, earnings category, etc.) | No content about future periods. |
Because the excerpt you provided contains only the announcement of Q2 2025 results and does not include any statements such as “we expect Q3 2025 revenue to be …” or “our full‑year 2025 outlook is …,” we cannot confirm that Toast gave forward guidance for either Q3 2025 or the full‑year 2025.
What to do if you need the guidance details
- Locate the full press release: The complete Business Wire release (or the company’s investor‑relations page) often contains a “Management’s Discussion and Outlook” or “Guidance” section where the company may disclose its expectations for upcoming quarters and the full year.
- Check the earnings call transcript: If a conference call was held, the transcript frequently includes forward‑looking statements from executives.
- Review SEC filings: Form 10‑Q for the quarter ending June 30 2025 (or a Form 8‑K if the company filed one) may contain forward‑looking guidance.
Bottom line: From the material you shared, there is no evidence that Toast provided forward guidance for Q3 2025 or the full year 2025. To answer definitively, you would need to consult the complete press release or related investor communications.
