Strategic Education: EdTech Growth Offsets Stall In Higher Ed Operations
Strategic Education's Q2 showed healthy revenue and margin growth, driven by EdTech and Sophia Learning, despite weakness in Australia/NZ and flat U.S. Higher Ed. EdTech's rapid expansion and B2B partnerships are offsetting declines elsewhere, with Sophia Learning subscriber growth accelerating and WorkForce Edge scaling quickly. Shareholder returns remain robust, with buybacks and dividends on track to deliver a 10%+ yield in FY 2025, supported by a strong balance sheet.
