Thursday, May 23, 1:14 PM Overdue student loans reached an all-time high of 11% during Q3 of last year, according to the DOE. The news comes just as the House approved a Republican-led proposal to allow interest rates on student loans to float. Still up for debate is whether or not a two-year extension of the 3.4% rate for subsidized Stafford loans will be legislated.

Monday, April 29, 9:07 AM Education stocks are in focus after DeVry (DV) announces it will freeze tuition rates for the next academic year. Investors are already skittish on the sector due to federal funding concerns. On watch: CECO, APOL, STRA, COCO, ESI, ITT, BPI, LINC. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, April 26, 3:18 PM For-profit education names are lower across the board, taking a step back after yesterday's gains. This week saw both DeVry (DV -3.7%) and ITT Educational (ESI -10.6%) report significant Y/Y declines in enrollment ( -17% at DV's namesake university and -14.2% total student enrollment at ESI) and today investors seem to be second guessing ESI after Thursday's rally as a price target hike at Barclays ($16) is overshadowed by Compass Point's downgrade and revised target ($12). Sector roundup: (APOL -0.7%), (CECO -3.5%), (STRA -0.5%), (LINC -3.7%), (LOPE -1.2%), (BPI). 1 Comment [On the Move]
Thursday, April 25, 10:12 AM Key stats from ITT Educational Services' (ESI +9.4%) Q1 beat: New student enrollment during the quarter fell 3.6% Y/Y while total student enrollment dropped 14.2%. The market seems to like the numbers (better than DeVry's drop in enrollment) as investors may just be looking for trends that are "less bad" out of for-profit education stocks (see Deutche's upgrade of ITT). Other for-profits trading higher: (APOL +3.4%), (CECO +3.3%), (STRA +1.7%), (BPI +1.3%) Comment! [On the Move, Earnings]

Monday, March 4, 3:18 PM For-profit education stocks sink lower as debate rages in Washington DC over funding for student loans. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Monday, February 25, 7:19 PM Apollo Group (APOL) says the Higher Learning Commission - a group that accredits its University of Phoenix - has recommended the university be placed on probation after determining it's not in compliance with accreditation policies, and it's too closely tied to APOL. The decision, which was related to the university's ongoing accreditation review, comes as a surprise as it was only expected to recommend putting the university "on notice," a lesser form of sanction. Separately, the company also announces that an SEC investigation into insider trading has been terminated. Shares -2.7% AH. Comment! [On the Move]
