Afya Limited Continues To Grow, But Limits Are Also Evident
Afya Limited delivered solid Q1 results with 16% YoY revenue growth, driven by acquisitions and organic expansion, and reported strong seasonal margins. Valuation at 11–13x earnings appears fair but not compelling, given long-term risks of market saturation and increased competition in Brazil's medical education sector. Long-term concerns persist as Brazil rapidly increases its doctor supply, potentially pressuring AFYA's enrollment and pricing power in the future.
