Stride: A Unique Business Offering Tariff-Resilient Growth
Stride is a unique for-profit education company that has seen success in selling its curriculums and working directly with school districts. The company distinguishes itself by bypassing individual students and selling directly to districts (where peers like 2U have stumbled), but still maintaining double-digit growth in enrollments. The company's scalable business model and significant operating margin gains highlight its efficiency, with adjusted EBITDA up 36% y/y, nearing "Rule of 40" status.

The company's forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 16.79X, above the industry average of 15.11X and below the sector's valuation of 17.66X.
Stride: School From Home, A Secular Trend
Stride's online K-12 education model is a secular trend, benefiting from growth and scale gains, with a 9% enrollment increase estimated for 2025. The company's high earnings visibility and operating leverage, demonstrated by a rise in EBITDA margins from 6% to 12%, underpin its strong financial outlook. Valuation is attractive at 1x PEG, with a potential price target of $185 if enrollment growth meets or exceeds 9% in September 2025.
