TL;DR. PRDO reported Q2 revenue of $213.4M (+1.8%) and adjusted EPS of $0.80 (+19.4%), and raised full-year 2026 adjusted operating income guidance to $258M-$263M versus $237.6M in 2025; the Board also approved a 13.3% quarterly dividend increase to $0.17 per share.

Bullish
  • + Raised full-year 2026 adjusted operating income outlook to $258M-$263M from $237.6M in 2025
  • + Quarterly dividend increased 13.3% to $0.17 per share

Bearish

  • − AIU System total enrollments fell 1.0% to 10,510 students due to softness at Trident University
