2026-07-14eventMixed Q3 FY2026 earnings follow-upMedium impact

Q3 revenue was essentially flat year over year at $271.8 million, enrollment increased about 0.6%, while adjusted EBITDA fell to $78.1 million and adjusted diluted EPS to $1.43. The result supports monitoring rather than a clean bullish inflection. [#SEC-8K-2026-07-14]

2026-07-15catalystPost-print analyst target and estimate cutsMedium impact

Morgan Stanley reportedly cut its target from $46 to $40 and reduced 2026-2027 EBITDA estimates amid enrollment headwinds; BMO reportedly cut its target from $39 to $36. This reinforces near-term downside pressure, although both cited firms retained positive ratings.

2027-07-17catalystConditional enrollment and employer-channel accelerationHigh impact

Management highlighted stronger employer connections and continued investment in the student experience; sustained enrollment acceleration could support a later valuation re-rating. Q3 enrollment growth was modest, so this remains a conditional multi-quarter thesis. [#SEC-8K-2026-07-14]
