Analysis
Quality compounder
Perdoceo Education Corporation is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is attractive. You pay 11.0× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -2% yearly growth; analysts expect 15%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 20/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
