PERDOCEO EDUCATION Corp
PERDOCEO EDUCATION Corp (PRDO) has a dated report snapshot, but its current priced-in claim is temporarily suppressed because the live engine record is unavailable or has changed.
- Perdoceo runs for-profit online universities, principally CTU and AIU, with nearly all revenue from tuition and fees. It is highly profitable, with a 24% operating margin, and sits on about $669 million of net cash, larger than most of its market value would suggest. - The discount is the regulatory overhang. As a Title IV recipient, Perdoceo depends on federal student aid, and changes to loan availability or gainful-employment rules are the structural risk the cheap multiple reflects.
