Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect STRA to earn is drifting higher (+4.4%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Strategic Education, Inc. (STRA): score, valuation & FAQ
Strategic Education, Inc. (STRA) is a Education & Training Services company that scores 73.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are D/E (A), P/E (A-) and PEG (A-). On valuation, STRA sits about 45% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -4% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is STRA a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores STRA 73.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by D/E (A), P/E (A-) and PEG (A-).

Why does STRA score 73.2 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). STRA earns its highest marks on D/E (A), P/E (A-) and PEG (A-). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is STRA overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $83.42, STRA sits about 45% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -4% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 13.9x P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in STRA?
The bear case centers on the modest FY revenue growth of only 3.5%, which is well below the implied -4% free‑cash‑flow growth baked into today’s price by our reverse DCF; any slowdown in enrollment or margin compression would expose the stock’s limited growth runway. A P/E of 13.8, while low, still reflects optimism about future earnings—if the online MBA fails to scale, the valuation collapses toward the 52‑week low of $69.70. A sustained dip in enrollment or a rise in operating costs would confirm the downside.
