Stride: Mispriced Growth Transition Could Actually Drive Significant Upside

Stride offers a compelling risk/reward profile, driven by robust Career Learning segment growth and an undervalued forward earnings multiple. Career Learning revenue surged 19.1% with 13.9% enrollment growth, offsetting General Education declines and shifting the business mix toward higher growth. With a strong balance sheet, a $500M buyback authorization, and a supportive funding environment, I see 38% upside to a $116 price target, rating LRN a Buy.
