Laureate (LAUR) Q2 Revenue Jumps 5%
Laureate Education (NASDAQ:LAUR), a leading provider of higher education with a focus on fast-growing markets in Mexico and Peru, released its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 on July 31, 2025. The main headline from the release was that revenue grew 5% year over year to $524.2 million (GAAP), beating the consensus estimate by $18.85 million. However, GAAP earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.65, below the analyst consensus of $0.72, with the miss tied to foreign currency translation losses on a GAAP basis. Adjusted EPS, which removes currency effects and other one-time items, was $0.79. Management described the period as one of strong underlying demand, citing robust enrollment growth and advances in digital learning, and raised full-year FY2025 guidance for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA.
