What the filing says
Laureate Education reported Q2 2026 revenue of $615.9M (reported +17%, constant currency +8%) and net income of $137.1M. YTD enrollments grew 10% (new) and 6% (total), with Peru outpacing Mexico. The company raised FY2026 guidance: revenue to $1,920–$1,930M (from $1,890–$1,905M), Adjusted EBITDA to $593–$599M (from $583–$593M), and Adjusted EPS to $2.04–$2.10 (from $2.00–$2.08). The Board approved a $150M increase in share repurchase authorization; $181M in buybacks completed YTD (5.4M shares at ~$33.5/share). Net debt is $61.5M on gross debt of $223.2M and cash of $161.7M. As of June 30, 2026, 137.7M shares outstanding.
Why this rating
Modest guidance raise (~2% revenue, ~2% EBITDA at midpoint) reflects solid operational growth but constrained relative to $3.0B market cap (~$50–75M incremental value). $150M buyback is material to capital allocation but not transformational. Enrollment growth and margin stability are positive but not exceptional.
