Strategic Education Financial Ratios 2025-2007 | STRA
Brief overview of Strategic Education's valuation multiples
Ratios are assessed across five available annual reports in the 2020–2024 interval.
The valuation comparison uses P/E 16.51x (median 25.15x), EV/EBITDA 12.69x (median 12.69x), P/S 1.53x (median 1.93x). On average, this basket is 21.1% below its own five-year medians. The market values the business at a discount to recent history.
Earnings yield calculated as 1/P/E is about 6.1%, showing current profit per unit of share price.
Current measures of operating quality are ROE 6.8%, ROA 5.5%, ROCE 9.4%. Business quality is below comfortable levels on current returns. Better margins or turnover are needed.
On PEG (9.44x), valuation is stretched relative to growth and requires strong execution.
The cash conversion cycle remains near its former level at 22.8 days after 18.1 days.
What the ratios show
Strategic Education's valuation is lower, but weak quality metrics call for caution. Recovery in earnings and capital returns is the key catalyst.
