Trading above fair value
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 8.3x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: LRN is currently trading at $84.60, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $65.00 to $75.67. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 9.4) compared to its historical average (8.3). At these levels, the market is pricing in 3.9% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, LRN is in a strong downtrend. Immediate support is located at $68.55, while resistance sits at $92.45.
Market Sentiment: LRN has a strong technical setup (60/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $111.00 (+32.1%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
