Stride (LRN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Stride Inc. has demonstrated substantial financial growth, evidenced by a 463.1% increase in free cash flow to $51.8 million in the first half of the fiscal year 2025, up from $9.2 million in the same period the previous year. Total enrollment reached a record 230,600, reflecting a 19.4% increase primarily driven by robust demand in both General Education and Career Learning programs, which further contributed to a 12.9% revenue increase in the General Education segment to $354.3 million. Additionally, operating income rose 48.4% to $125.1 million, fueled by enhancements in marketing efficiency that have allowed Stride to effectively capitalize on the growing acceptance of online educational formats.
Bears say
The analysis indicates a negative outlook on Stride Inc.'s stock, primarily due to several underlying concerns. A projected decline in revenue per enrollment by 1-2% year-over-year and reliance on government policies related to school choice suggest that external factors could heavily impact future growth. Additionally, the company's dependence on enrolling more students amid intense competition from traditional and alternative education providers, combined with potential inflationary pressures on educational costs, raises significant uncertainties regarding its long-term profitability and sustainability.
