Jamaica’s outlook revised to stable by Fitch after hurricane
PHOENIX - Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. (NYSE:PXED) shares fell 8.3% after the parent company of the University of Phoenix reported fourth quarter fiscal 2025 results that beat revenue expectations but failed to impress investors despite raising its outlook for the coming year.
The company reported fourth quarter revenue of $257.4 million, compared to $240.2 million in the same period last year, representing a 7.2% increase YoY. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.46, while the company’s Average Total Degreed Enrollment increased to 79,300 students from 75,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Despite the positive results, investors reacted negatively to the earnings report, sending shares down 8.3% in trading.
The company, which recently completed its initial public offering on October 10, 2025, provided fiscal year 2026 guidance that exceeded analyst expectations, projecting revenue between $1.025 billion and $1.035 billion.
"The milestone of becoming a public company again reflects our transformative journey as a private organization—one defined by measurable improvements in student retention, completion, and satisfaction," said Chris Lynne, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Education Partners and President of the University.
For the full fiscal year 2025, Phoenix Education Partners reported revenue of $1.007 billion, up from $950 million in fiscal 2024. The company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $56.6 million, compared to $41.6 million for the same period last year.
The company reported no outstanding debt as of August 31, 2025, and entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility in November that will mature in 2030.
