LOPE Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Grand Canyon Education Inc. has demonstrated a robust enrollment growth, with an increase of 15.4% year-over-year when excluding sites that closed in 2024. Additionally, total enrollment at its off-campus classroom and laboratory sites saw a significant rise of 14.0%, reaching 4,990 students, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of growth. This consistent upward trend in enrollment suggests a strong demand for GCE's educational services, positively impacting its revenue generation capabilities through its partnerships with universities.
Bears say
Grand Canyon Education Inc. is experiencing ongoing pressure on total online enrollments due to increased graduation rates and a decline in student re-entries, which could negatively impact future revenue growth. Despite a slight increase in revenue expectations to a range of $305.0-310.0 million, there is a notable decrease in anticipated GAAP operating margins, now forecasted between 35.1-35.8%, and a reduced effective tax rate compared to prior guidance. Furthermore, while GAAP diluted EPS is expected to rise slightly, the adjustments in both revenue and margins suggest a weakening operational foundation that could hinder long-term performance.
This aggregate rating is based on analysts' research of Grand Canyon Education and is not a guaranteed prediction by Public.com or investment advice.
