Is Strategic Education stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Strategic Education stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Strategic Education's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Strategic Education's P/E ratio
Strategic Education's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, Strategic Education shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Strategic Education's PEG ratio
Strategic Education's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5548. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Strategic Education's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Strategic Education's EBITDA

Strategic Education share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 52.4% of net profits
Recently Strategic Education has paid out, on average, around 52.4% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Strategic Education shareholders could enjoy a 2.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Strategic Education's case, that would currently equate to about $2.4 per share.
Strategic Education's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Strategic Education's most recent dividend payout was on 2 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 22 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Strategic Education's shares ever split?
Strategic Education's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 18 November 1997. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Strategic Education shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Strategic Education shares which in turn could have impacted Strategic Education's share price.
Strategic Education share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Strategic Education's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.6817 up to $122.9773. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Strategic Education's is 0.571. This would suggest that Strategic Education's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
