Perdoceo Education: Growing Health Degree Enrollments Bode Well
I rate Perdoceo Education a 'Buy', driven by strong growth in healthcare and nursing degree enrollments amid shifting education trends, especially among Gen Z. PRDO's fundamentals are attractive: rising healthcare enrollments, a healthy balance sheet, 16% YoY revenue growth, and a low P/E ratio suggest undervaluation. While I remain skeptical of for-profit education, the company's focus on career professionals and resilient healthcare programs reduces risk vs. peers.

Perdoceo Education: The Value Play In EdTech
Perdoceo Education Corporation is a leading U.S. provider of postsecondary education, offering both online and campus-based programs. Revenue rose 25.7% YoY to $209.6M, driven mainly by the USAHS acquisition, while gross margin fell 5.56pp and net margin declined 3.47pp due to integration and marketing costs. Strong enrollment momentum, strategic investments in generative AI, USAHS acquisition, and a $50M share repurchase program support positive revenue and EPS growth outlook (FY 2025 EPS estimated at $2.52, +10%).
