Stride (LRN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Stride Inc. has demonstrated robust financial performance, with total revenue increasing by 13% year-over-year to $621 million in the first quarter of 2026, surpassing consensus estimates. The company experienced strong enrollment growth, adding 12.4K students sequentially, resulting in total enrollment of approximately 247.7K, an 11% year-over-year increase. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA rose significantly by 29.2%, reaching $108.4 million, while the adjusted diluted earnings per share increased by 39.6% to $1.52, reflecting the company’s effective operational management and growth potential in the online education sector.
Bears say
Stride Inc. has reported mixed Q1 results, with total enrollment falling slightly below expectations, while revenue and profitability modestly exceeded consensus, contributing to a negative outlook. The company anticipates its revenue per enrollment to remain flat year-over-year in FY26, impacted by increased costs from platform rollout efforts and subsequently lowering gross margin expectations. Additionally, issues such as login difficulties and performance slowdowns have negatively affected conversion and withdrawal rates, combined with a disappointing total revenue growth guidance of $2.48-2.56 billion—well below consensus projections.
