About PERDOCEO EDUCATION Corp

Perdoceo Education Corporation (NYSE/NASDAQ: PRDO) is a U.S.-based postsecondary education company focused on career-oriented training and degree programs. Headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, United States, the company was incorporated in Delaware in 1994 under the name Career Education Corporation and adopted the Perdoceo name in 2020. Its model is that of a publicly traded private-education provider serving adult learners, working professionals, and, in parts of its portfolio, military-affiliated students. Perdoceo currently operates several accredited academic institutions: Colorado Technical University (CTU), the American InterContinental University System (AIUS), and, since December 2, 2024, the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS). Across these schools, the company offers programs from the associate through doctoral level, as well as non-degree and professional-development offerings. Delivery is primarily online, with hybrid and campus-based formats depending on the institution. CTU’s curriculum is especially concentrated in business and management, nursing, healthcare management, computer science, engineering, information systems and technology, project management, cybersecurity, and criminal justice. AIUS is similarly aimed at adult learners seeking flexible, career-relevant education. In the U.S. private higher-education landscape, Perdoceo stands out for a strategy centered on operational discipline, technology-enabled instruction, and selective capital allocation. The company emphasizes personalized learning tools such as intellipath®, alongside analytics and digital systems designed to improve student engagement, retention, and academic outcomes. The acquisition of USAHS materially expanded Perdoceo’s exposure to the healthcare education market, a structurally attractive segment supported by long-term demand for trained healthcare professionals. Geographically, Perdoceo remains overwhelmingly U.S.-centric, with a nationwide reach through online enrollment and a limited campus footprint. That makes the company less dependent on one local market and more reliant on national student demand, retention trends, and regulatory conditions. For French-speaking investors, PRDO represents a relatively niche but meaningful education platform with a mix of defensive characteristics and execution risk typical of the sector. Recent highlights include the company’s February 2026 release of full-year 2025 results, in which management cited solid operating momentum, strong prospective-student interest, and high retention across its institutions. In November 2025, Perdoceo also reported results ahead of expectations and noted continued investment in academics, student technology, and support processes, while returning capital through share repurchases and dividends. The completion of the USAHS acquisition in late 2024 remains the most important strategic development in the recent period.
