Frequently asked questions

What is Stride Inc's stock price?

Stride Inc (LRN) trades at $82.80, on a P/E of 15.3x and a P/S of 1.6x. Those multiples show what the market is paying for each dollar of earnings and sales, which is the real starting point for judging whether the price is reasonable.

Is Stride Inc overvalued?

Stride Inc carries a Smart Value Score of 65/100 (Grade B), which we rate Buy. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $87.11 against the $82.80 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for Stride Inc's growth. The Buy rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.

What is the price target of Stride Inc (LRN)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $113.50, about 37.1% above the current $82.80. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the intrinsic value of Stride Inc (LRN)?

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $87.11, a -12.2% margin of safety versus today's $82.80. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.

What is Stride Inc's revenue?

Stride Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.54B. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.

Altman Z-Score?

Stride Inc's Altman Z-Score is 3.92, which places it in the safe zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
