Stride reports Q1 FY2027 revenue up 3% as enrollments fall 2.5% and issues guidance

Stride, Inc. posted first‑quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $639.4 million, a 3.0% year‑over‑year increase, while average enrollments slipped 2.5% to 241.4 K. Adjusted earnings per share fell 9.9% to $1.37 and adjusted operating income declined 3.1% to $78.6 million. The company kept its full‑year revenue outlook of $2.53‑$2.61 billion and forecast Q2 revenue of $625‑$645 million, but the guidance missed some Street expectations, prompting a modest share dip.

The revenue growth shows the business can raise per‑student pricing despite enrollment pressure, but lower adjusted EPS and operating income signal margin compression that may affect profitability. Investors should note the unchanged full‑year guidance and the Q2 revenue range of $625‑$645 million as the next performance benchmark.
