Phoenix Education Partners, Inc.

Consumer Staples · Education & Training Services

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc.'s three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.

Biggest watch item: the price is not yet in a confirmed uptrend — timing risk, not thesis risk.

The price is between stages. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −50.0% year on year, and 96% of the last 2 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. trades at $29.4, between stages. That is −4.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 26% of a 52-week range of $27 to $38. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (3 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is between stages. At $29.4 it trades −4.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 26% of its 52-week range ($27–$38).

Aug 26: $29.4 Weekly closing price ($) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 1-year window.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2025 Each cell is one week from 2025 to now (44 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the S&P 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the S&P 500 reading is not held.

Oct 25Aug 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10 months the stock moved −19% while the S&P 500 moved +18% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (3 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-17) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. trades at 13.8× P/E, against too little history to rank. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 13.8× is against too little history to rank. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · Stage: No read

Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read.

Growth, year by year: revenue +6.3% in FY25, profit +16.7% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

51.5/100 — rank 19 of 20 in Education & Training Services · 36% evidence confidence · provisional, ranked below fully-evidenced peers

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. scores 51.5 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Education & Training Services, ranking 19. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 13.5 + 17.4 + 10.6 + 10 = 51.5. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. reported $0.2 B of revenue in the Feb 26 quarter, +0.0% year on year. Over 1 years it has compounded at 6.3% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.0 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.0 B.

FY25 revenue came in at $1.0 B (+6.3% on the year), capping 1 years at 6.3% compound. The latest quarter (Feb 26) printed $0.2 B, +0.0% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +4.1% growth against the decade's 6.3% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

06 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc.'s operating margin is −40.9% in the Feb 26 quarter, −4.5 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across the last four quarters the operating margin has moved −28.9 percentage points.

The latest quarter's operating margin is −40.9%, −4.5 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 2 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −25.3%–−22.8%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −28.9 pp year on year while gross margin went −19.5 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

FY25: −22.8% Operating margin by fiscal year, %, line (left); year-on-year change in the margin, in percentage points, line (right). 2-year window.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. earned $0.0 B of net profit in the Feb 26 quarter, −50.0% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.1 B. The 1-year compound rate is 16.7%. That is 4.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.1 B.

Feb 26 profit was $0.0 B, −50.0% year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.1 B (+16.7%), and the 1-year compound rate is 16.7%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +0.0% and the margin −4.5 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −3.3% vs revenue +4.1%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.

08 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 2 fiscal years 96% of Phoenix Education Partners, Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.1 B of operating cash against $0.1 B of profit. After $0.0 B of capital spending, $0.1 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.1 B against reported profit of $0.1 B, leaving free cash of $0.1 B after $0.0 B of capital spending. Across the last 2 fiscal years the conversion rate is 96% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY25: CFO $0.1 B vs profit $0.1 B Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, $ B; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 2-year window, annual resolution.

Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.

Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.

09 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $0.0 B over the last 2 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.0% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.

On the investment side: capital spending of $0.0 B over the last 2 fiscal years.

FY25: capex $0.0 B Capital spending per fiscal year, $ B (bars).

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

10 · Return on equity

Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. earns a ROE of 34% in FY24. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 12.6% net margin on 1.36× asset turns.

FY24 ROE is 34%.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY24): 12.6% net margin × 1.36× asset turns × 2.00× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 34.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

FY24: ROE 34% Return on equity by fiscal year, % (line); ROIC by fiscal year, % (line). 1-year window, dips included.

11 · Dividend

Dividend A dividend is cash paid out per share. Dividend per share is the declared amount for the period; the trailing twelve-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. has 2 quarters of declared dividends on file — too few for a trailing-twelve-month figure. The most recent declaration was $0.21 for Feb 26.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. has declared a dividend in 2 of the last 6 reported quarters, most recently $0.21 for Feb 26. That is fewer than four quarters, so no trailing-twelve-month total is shown rather than one built from a partial year.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. carries total debt of $0.1 B against shareholder equity of $0.3 B as of May 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.21 — effectively unlevered. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

May 26: total debt of $0.1 B against shareholder equity of $0.3 B — a debt-to-equity of 0.21. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

13 · Ownership

Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.

9.7% of Phoenix Education Partners, Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 3.8 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.

The latest reading: 9.7% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 3.8 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc.: the Z-score reads 5.37. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 5.37 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 5.37.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
