What the filing says
Laureate Education reported Q3 2026 revenue of $485.1M (up 21% YoY; 14% constant currency), operating income $119.1M, and net income $101.2M. Nine-month revenue reached $1,373.6M (up 18% YoY; 8% constant currency). New and total enrollments grew 9% and 6% respectively YTD. The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance (revenue $1,920–$1,930M, Adj. EBITDA $593–$599M) and announced an additional $150M share repurchase authorization (total remaining capacity ~$225.2M after $256M YTD buybacks). Net debt stands at $14.3M; 135.7M shares outstanding as of Sept 30, 2026.
Why this rating
Strong operational growth (8% constant currency), margin expansion, and robust capital return signal confidence; however, earnings are heavily influenced by one-time $25.4M tax benefit and FX tailwinds ($115M of 18% revenue growth), making underlying organic growth ~8%. Relative to $3B market cap, incremental $150M buyback (5% of cap) and continued discipline are positive but not transformational; on track guidance supports stability.
