About Laureate Education, INC.

Laureate Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LAUR) is a U.S.-listed company traded on the NYSE/NASDAQ market in the United States and focused on private higher education in Latin America. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, United States, the company operates five higher-education institutions across Mexico and Peru, serving students through campus-based and online delivery models. Its portfolio includes undergraduate, graduate, and specialized degree programs, positioning Laureate as a scaled education provider with exposure to markets where demand is driven by employability, affordability, and the need for career-relevant credentials. ([investors.laureate.net](https://investors.laureate.net/overview/default.aspx?utm_source=openai)) Laureate emphasizes a long operating history in education, stating it has been in the business of changing lives since 1998. At the same time, its local brands have much deeper roots: the company says its presence in Mexico goes back more than 50 years through flagship institutions, while some Peruvian assets have operated since the mid-1990s. That historical depth matters competitively because higher education is a reputation-driven industry, and established brands tend to benefit from alumni networks, employer recognition, and strong local enrollment pipelines. ([laureate.net](https://www.laureate.net/?utm_source=openai)) From a business model perspective, Laureate is best understood as a leading private higher-education network in its core geographies. In Mexico, it highlights two of the country’s largest and most respected institutions and a broad campus footprint. In Peru, it operates UPC, UPN, and Cibertec, with programs ranging from academic degrees to technical and specialized training. The company’s strategy centers on academic quality, market-relevant programs, digital learning, and access, aiming to deliver outcomes that are attractive to students and employers alike. ([laureate.net](https://www.laureate.net/mexico?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments point to improving operating momentum. Laureate reported full-year 2025 revenue growth, higher operating income, and stronger enrollments, while also describing significant free-cash-flow generation. In February 2026, management announced a $150 million increase to its share repurchase authorization, reinforcing the company’s shareholder-return profile. The group also indicated continued investment in new campuses and digital and AI capabilities, suggesting that growth is being supported by both capacity expansion and technology-enabled execution.
