Barrington analyst… Barrington analyst Alexander Paris lowered his price target for K12 to $30 from $40 following the company's fiscal Q2 results and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The stock selloff today is likely due to lower near-term earnings expectations resulting from the impact of purchase accounting and negative EBITDA associated with the Galvanize acquisition. At current levels, the K12 is trading below its larger cap postsecondary education peer group, Paris tells investors in a research note. His Outperform rating reflects positive macro trends and "strong company execution." | ||||

BMO Capital analyst… BMO Capital analyst Jeffrey Silber lowered his price target on K12 to $23, saying that while the company's Q2 earnings were slightly better than expected, its announced Galvanize acquisition will be dilutive in the near term and thus led to reduced FY20 guidance. The analyst still keeps his Outperform rating on K12, noting that the company's core business has returned to growth and the acquisition will be a positive over the long term. | |
