Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved

Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

The stock price movement of Laureate Education (LAUR) between August 31, 2025, and December 5, 2025, was largely influenced by several positive developments.

1. Increased Full-Year 2025 Guidance.

Laureate Education raised its full-year 2025 guidance for both total enrollments and revenues during its Q3 2025 earnings release on October 30, 2025. This upward revision was driven by favorable results from recent enrollment intakes and improved foreign currency exchange rates. The company now anticipates total enrollments to be approximately 494,000 students, representing a 5% growth compared to 2024. Revenues are projected to be in the range of $1,681 million to $1,686 million, indicating a 7%-8% growth on an as-reported basis.

2. Strong Enrollment Growth.

The company reported robust enrollment figures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with new enrollments increasing by 7% and total enrollments up by 6% year-over-year. This growth was particularly strong in Peru, where new enrollments surged by 13% and total enrollments by 8%. Mexico also contributed positively with new and total enrollments rising by 4%.

3. Expansion of Share Buyback Program.

In November 2025, Laureate Education announced an increase in its share buyback authorization by $150 million, bringing the total authorization to $250 million. This move signals management's confidence in the company's intrinsic value and its commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

4. Strong Q3 2025 Revenue Performance.

Despite a miss on earnings per share, Laureate Education's revenue for the third quarter of 2025 reached $400.2 million, exceeding analyst expectations by 2.15%. The reported 6% year-over-year revenue growth contributed to investor confidence, leading to a premarket stock increase following the earnings announcement.

5. Positive Technical Indicators and Analyst Sentiment.

Throughout the period, Laureate Education's stock exhibited positive technical signals, including buy signals from both short-term and long-term moving averages, suggesting a favorable forecast. Analysts also maintained a positive outlook, with an average 12-month price target of $36, indicating potential upside for the stock.

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

The clear emerging threat to Laureate Education is the accelerating market shift towards alternative credentials, skills-based training, and micro-credentials. These programs, offered by a variety of providers including tech companies (e.g., Google, IBM with professional certificates), specialized bootcamps, and online learning platforms, offer faster, often cheaper, and highly focused pathways to employment. As employers increasingly prioritize specific skills over traditional degrees for certain roles, and as learners seek more flexible and cost-effective education options, these alternatives pose a direct challenge to the value proposition of Laureate's multi-year degree programs, potentially diverting a significant portion of their target student demographic.

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Laureate Education (LAUR) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through several key strategies:

Consistent Enrollment Growth: Laureate Education anticipates continued growth in its student base. The company has demonstrated strong enrollment increases, with new enrollments rising 7% year-over-year in Q3, and total year-to-date enrollments reaching 511,000 students. Total enrollments are expected to be approximately 494,000 students in 2025, reflecting a growth of about 5% versus 2024. This growth is particularly strong in Mexico and Peru.
Expansion of Campus Footprint: The company is strategically expanding its physical presence by opening new campuses. Two new campuses were opened recently in September (Monterrey, Mexico and Lima's Ate District, Peru), and management has indicated two more campuses are in the pipeline, expected to open by late 2026 or early 2027. This expansion aims to meet rising demand and broaden access to higher education in its key markets.
Growth in Digital and Online Programs: Laureate is focusing on scaling up its fully online programs, particularly those catering to working adults in Peru and Mexico. This strategy broadens the addressable market by attracting non-traditional students and is considered a critical initiative for sustaining enrollment momentum and top-line growth.
Strategic Tuition Pricing and Mix Management: Revenue growth is expected to be a combination of high enrollment growth and pricing increases. Improved outlook for 2025 has also been attributed to "better price/mix" in the Mexican market.
Favorable Macroeconomic Conditions in Key Markets: The company benefits from strengthening macroeconomic environments, particularly in Peru, which is experiencing sustained domestic demand, new mining projects, rising wages, and low inflation. These conditions create a favorable backdrop for growing student enrollment and, consequently, revenue.
