Grand Canyon Education: Downgrading To 'Hold' Post Q4 Earnings (Technical Analysis)
We initially turned bullish on Grand Canyon Education, Inc. in December 2023 due to rising enrollment and retention rates. Despite recent gains, weakening technical indicators and muted fiscal 2025 guidance prompt us to downgrade LOPE to a 'Hold' rating. Concerns include a potential 20% retracement, declining margins, and reliance on share buybacks to maintain EPS.
