Analyst projections of the future price of Perdoceo Education stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
First-half operating income grew 14.4% and diluted EPS rose to $1.60 from $1.27. Management’s 2026 adjusted EPS outlook of $3.10–$3.16 is above 2025’s $2.61. (SEC)
The University of St. Augustine is becoming a growth engine: second-quarter enrolment rose 6% and revenue grew 10.2%, while the segment returned to operating profit from a loss a year earlier. (SEC)
CTU enrolment is still growing, albeit modestly: it rose 0.6% for an 11th consecutive quarter, and corporate student-programme enrolments also continued to increase. (Stock Analysis)
Overall enrolment increased only 0.7% in the second quarter; CTU, which generates over half of revenue, grew 0.6%, while AIUS fell 1%. Revenue growth was also modest at 1.8%, leaving limited room if demand weakens. (SEC)
Two former-employee False Claims Act suits over federal-aid compliance remain unresolved and could expose Perdoceo to treble damages; the company says it cannot estimate a potential loss. Higher legal fees already weighed on CTU’s quarterly operating income. (SEC)
New graduate borrowing limits and the end of Grad PLUS may make some programmes harder to finance, particularly at USAHS. Several of its programmes currently qualify for higher loan limits under revised guidance while legal challenges continue, so the funding outlook remains uncertain. (SEC)
