Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 72 days.
The thesis — published July 19, 2025
The share price has fallen hard even though sales grew more than a quarter and the company holds plenty of cash to buy back its own stock. A results call on 31 Jul could shine a light on rising student sign-ups and push the price toward 37-38 dollars. Market mood is very positive and basic company scores look strong, suggesting a buy between 28.5 and 30 dollars, with a safety exit near 25.9 and a 28 percent payoff target within three months.
Primary drivers
- 31 Jul results could quickly move the share price upward
- First-quarter sales grew 26 percent, showing the turnaround is real
- Price looks washed out, so even a small uptick may spark a rebound
- Large cash pile funds share buybacks, boosting future earnings
