59% of all revenue comes from a single line: Degree Program.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$946M
The loss that same year:
$317.6M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.3.

The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are growing overall, with a pause along the way.

Average growth of 13% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

DEBT: $995.0M
At this pace, that money lasts less than a year.

Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.

WORTH WATCHING

Cost Efficiency: As sales grow, profit fails to keep the same pace.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
A big climb, then a hard fall.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 84% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
Sales keep climbing

Over the last 4 years, sales grew about 13% a year on average.

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
The losses continue

A loss of $317.6M against $946.0M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
The cash has a countdown

At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
Executives lean toward selling

Over the last 12 months, executives reported 35 sells against just 7 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.

FINALE · THE GRADE
grade pending

We don’t have a report card for this stock yet — the data isn’t mature enough to grade. No grade is information too: it means the evidence is thin.

One-line summary: few numbers, an untested story. Keep watching.
