Bulls say / Bears say
Q2 2025 service revenue climbed 8.8% to $247.5 million and net income grew 19.1%, with operating margin advancing to 20.9%, supported by a 10.3% rise in partner enrollments.
The Q2 2025 effective tax rate fell to 24.5% from 25.5%, boosting after-tax profitability and fueling strong EPS growth.
BMO Capital Markets raised its price target to $208 after Q1 2025 results and increased annual guidance, citing better-than-expected enrollment gains in online and hybrid programs.
Q2 guidance for Q4 2025 forecasts revenue between $305 million and $310 million, compared to a consensus of $307.4 million, indicating a potential slowdown in top-line growth.
Changes to contracts in Q2 2025 shifted enrollments towards lower-priced online programs and resulted in a slight drop in revenue per student, which could limit future margin improvement.
On-campus (GCU Ground) enrollment declined year-over-year in Q1 2025 due to earlier FAFSA processing issues, underscoring risks to the traditional campus-based revenue stream.
