Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 65 days.
The thesis — published July 20, 2025
Shares of Perdoceo have fallen sharply and now look oversold, even though sales grew 26.6% and the company holds more cash than debt. A second-quarter update is set for 31 Jul, giving investors a clear date to watch. Strong sign-ups for its tech courses back a solid quality score, and analysts think another strong sales beat is coming. If the price returns to last May's level of about $36 by October, an investor could gain $3 for every $1 risked. Current trade zone near $29 keeps downside close to $27, so the payoff looks attractive.
Primary drivers
- Very few buyers left after the drop, hinting the sell-off may be near its end.
- Sales jumped 26% and the company holds plenty of cash, boosting its quality rank.
- A results call on 31 Jul is a clear date that could quickly move the stock.
- Recent news on 18 Jul reminded investors the shares look cheap before results.
