Career Learners Make Stride

Stride is a technology-based educational company providing learning solutions for students of all ages. The company’s offerings seem to work well for people looking to further their careers as well as younger students eyeing tutoring help. Also, the company cites governmental trends as tailwinds for its business in terms of offering services to more students.

Financially, LRN’s third-quarter 2025 earnings report showed a nearly 18% rise in total revenue, to $630.4 million. Career learning revenue jumped 33%, to $223.9 million, while general education revenue sprang up 13%, to nearly $371 million. Average enrollments are up 14% from the prior year as well. Diluted per-share earnings were $2.02, and the company raised its guidance for the year, increasing projected revenue (up to $2.385 billion) and operating income (up to $465 million).

It’s no wonder LRN shares are up almost 55% this year so far – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
