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. Sector watch: APEI, APOL, CECO, COCO, ESI, STRA, LINC, LOPE, BPI, DV, CPLA, EDMC, NAUH. 3 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, May 8, 3:28 PM More on Grand Canyon Education (LOPE +14.2%): Shares extend earlier gains as investors like the 44.6% increase in ground enrollment and the 300bps Y/Y margin expansion. LOPE's outlook is ahead of the Street as the for-profit sees Q2 and FY13 EPS of $0.39-$0.40 and $1.76-1.79 respectively against consensus of $0.39 and $1.72. On the CC, management says enrollments will grow 8-10% annually and mentions in the Q&A that any perceived tepidness in terms of its view on retention rates or revenue growth is due to an attempt to exercise "conservatism." (PR, transcript) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 8, 10:11 AM Grand Canyon Education (LOPE +9.7%) trades higher after showing some promise with its Q1 report. Enrollment increased 15.7% to 53,600 as increased marketing and promotional spending paid off. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 7, 4:51 PM Grand Canyon Education (LOPE): Q1 EPS of $0.43 beats by $0.04. Revenue of $142M (+21.3% Y/Y) beats by $4.08M. Shares +5.5% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
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]
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]
Tuesday, February 19, 7:38 PM More on Grand Canyon Education (LOPE): Q4 beats on EPS and revenue as total sales jump 25% Y/Y. Total enrollment increased by 19% during the prior year, while ground enrollment increased 52.1% over the same period. Shares +5.2% AH. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, February 19, 4:22 PM Grand Canyon Education (LOPE): Q4 EPS of $0.46 beats by $0.04. Revenue of $141.3M (+25% Y/Y) beats by $5.21M. Shares +2.7% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
Thursday, February 7, 10:12 AM The rocket ride for DeVry (DV +19.5%) following its FQ2 earnings report is providing a lift to the for-profit education sector. Though enrollment numbers still don't look strong, gains with colleges focused on medical and healthcare add a bit of promise. Advancers: APEI +2.1%, APOL +3.3%, CECO +4.4%, COCO +3.2%, ESI +9.4%, STRA +4.6%, LINC +1.4%, LOPE +5.6%, BPI +3.3%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, January 9, 9:49 AM It's a double-digit loss now for Apollo Group (APOL -11%) after its outlook for FY13 doesn't paint a pretty picture. As expected, sector peers are also taking it on the chin. Decliners: DV -6.5%, STRA -5.1%, CECO -2.8%, COCO -1.5%, ESI -3.9%, LOPE -2.1%, LINC -1.2%, EDMC -1.2%, BPI -3.1%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 11:17 AM The selloff in for-profit education stocks is linked to the higher regulation the sector may see under an Obama administration, according to CNBC's Karina Frayter. After the Department of Education adopted a "gainful employment" rule and President Obama signed an executive order to increase transparency, traders may be wondering what's next for the sector in the form of oversight. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, November 1, 2012, 6:44 PM Grand Canyon Education (LOPE): Q3 EPS of $0.41 beats by $0.07. Revenue of $133.6M (+22.7% Y/Y) beats by $7M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Thursday, October 18, 2012, 9:25 AM The student loan issue doesn't look likely to go away no matter which candidate wins the Presidency. A new survey shows the average student-loan borrower graduated with $26.6K of loans in 2011, up 5.3% from 2010. The problem is more pronounced in the for-profit sector with evidence mounting that the bang-for-the-buck offered by online, technical, and secondary degrees is waning. Analyst still think the the sector will have winners and losers, but warn a rocky road in general could lie ahead. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 9:03 AM Education stocks are on watch after Bridgepoint Education reveals it's under investigation by the DOJ. The sector could take a hit with an increasing focus on the practice of companies of tying compensation to recruiting levels. Lawmakers (and taxpayers) are less than thrilled with the prevailing quantity over quality sentiment in the sector. BPI -13.5% premarket. 2 Comments [On the Move, Consumer]
Friday, September 28, 2012, 2:25 PM Student loan defaults are up for the 5th straight year, according to new data from the Department of Education. Of the 4.1M students who started making payments in late 2009 and early 2010, 9.1% defaulted within two years, up from a level of 8.8% last year. A modicum of good news from the sector is that the default rate of the for-profit sector dropped to 12.9% from 15% last year. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Tuesday, August 7, 2012, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: USHS +37%. BSFT +24%. FOSL +21%. LOPE +18%. BVSN +10%. ZLCS +10%. VRNG +9%. IHG +8%. CIM +6%. NOK +6%. MGM +5%. DCTH +5%.
Losers: WMS -20%. LEAP -18%. NIHD -16%. ELN -11%. CORT -10%. HEK -9%. DUF -8%. Comment! [On the Move]
