PRDOPerdoceo Education Corporation
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector, but at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for a decline (~−4% a year). The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 6% a year, expectations look modest.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 12.3 vs a 9.6 median over 32 quarters (+27% vs median).
Sector median 16.6× across 78 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
