Outperform
Reason
Barrington analyst Alexander Paris raised the firm's price target on American Public Education to $36 from $32 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares after Q2 results topped expectations and FY25 guidance was raised. Shares are trading at "a big discount to the for-profit postsecondary peer group average" despite recovering demand for affordable online higher education and nursing programs and the firm's expectation for continued enrollment growth and margin expansion in 2025, the analyst tells investors.

Outperform
Reason
Northland initiated coverage of American Public Education with an Outperform rating and $36 price target. Given that American Public has made "significant progress" turning around its Rasmussen University business, coupled with a "highly profitable" American Public University System business, the firm sees a meaningful runway for multiple expansion for what it views as "a leading provider of post-secondary education."

Reason

American Public became the largest nursing education provider after its acquisition of Rasmussen, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Truist raised the firm's price target on American Public Education to $30 from $24 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The company reported upside Q1 results and slightly increased 2025 EBITDA guidance, with the updated outlook still reading as "conservative" as American Public Education is likely seeking to rebuild a track record of beat/raises after a difficult period following the RU acquisition, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
