Analyst projections of the future price of Strategic Education stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Education Technology Services is a strong growth and profit driver: second-quarter revenue rose 15.4% and operating income rose 30%, while Sophia subscribers grew 32%. (Strategic Education)
The U.S. business is gaining traction in employer-linked and healthcare courses, which may support a more durable student mix. Employer-affiliated enrolment reached 34.7% of U.S. enrolment and healthcare enrolment grew 11%. (Strategic Education)
Profitability improved despite the Australian reserve: adjusted earnings per share rose 16% and the constant-currency adjusted operating margin increased by 90 basis points. Management said it was confident of achieving at least 200 basis points of operating-margin expansion for the year. (Strategic Education, The Motley Fool)
U.S. higher-education enrolment still slipped 0.5%, as growth in employer-affiliated students was offset by fewer unaffiliated students. Revenue rose only 2.3%, partly because revenue per student increased, a lever that may be difficult to rely on indefinitely. (Strategic Education)
Australia and New Zealand enrolment fell 5.2%, with weaker international student numbers linked to Australian regulatory changes. Constant-currency revenue declined 2.6%, leaving recovery dependent in part on domestic growth and a better visa environment. (Strategic Education, The Motley Fool)
Revenue growth may remain modest: an October report said consensus expected only 2.4% third-quarter growth, while management had indicated full-year revenue could fall short of its usual model. The same report flagged slowing growth in ETS and Sophia, raising questions about how much their expansion can offset pressure elsewhere. (Finviz, The Motley Fool)
