Conference call and enrollment give little to be bullish about. However the balance sheet, about 7 bucks per share in cash, give me pause. Bought shares last week for a trade. One take away from the call was their ability to reduce costs in step with shrinking revenues, remain cash flow positive. Musical chairs with the Feds and regulators. If they can achieve reasonable settlements and use the cash appropriately you'll get higher prices. My plan is to hopefully scale out of shares above 8 and watch the story slowly develop.
Should rebound a bit I once made $9,000 shorting this
i guess not....
down 5% today and 6% after hours. tomorrow should be interesting....
anyone else holding leap puts on this joker. all these for profit colleges need to go bye bye. milking the taxpayers and preying on the weak
Got those Nov. 24th "Puts" early this morning, Seems to be reacting so far...
Jun 25 APOL to announce Q3 earnings Before Market (Confirmed)
Jun 25 APOL Earnings Conference Call at 8:30 AM Listen
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=APOL
This industry is really starting to heat up! At least on the Canadian side of the border. Let me introduce you to Loyalist Group Limited (US: LGLTF, CAN: LOY).
Loyalist owns and operates private English as a Second Language (ESL) schools across Canada, with a focus on Vancouver and Toronto. They offer ESL for international students, training programs for teaching ESL (TESL), career training courses, and corporate English for professionals. The business plan is to become the premiere consolidator of independent, privately owned and operated schools, in what is considered to be a large and extremely fragmented market. Substantial revenue and cost synergies can be realized quickly, thus making acquisitions highly accretive to earnings. Loyalist is well financed, having successfully completed 2 financings, raising over $15 million the past few months, and has good institutional and high-net worth investor support (billionaire entrepreneur, Seymour Schulich, holds 13,000,000 shares). Loyalist is in a very good position to continue executing its growth strategy given its experienced management team, economies of scale gained over time, and the lack of any other competition in the marketplace.
Loyalist could exit 2013 with a revenue run rate of ~$32.4M, EBITDA of ~$6.6M, cash of ~5M and fully diluted shares of ~132M.
Loyalist could exit 2014 with a revenue run rate of ~$80M, EBITDA of ~$15M, and no need for further dilution.
THREE-MONTH PRICE TARGET: $1.00+/share
Upcoming Catalysts:
• Q4 2013 financials due out at the end of April
• Q1 2014 financials typically out the end of May
• Corporate update
o How the consolidation of new acquisitions is going
o An update on the new, high-margin student housing division
o Update on how the new franchising program is rolling out
• Introduction of the new Loyalty Program

APOL yep kind of stuck in the mud...
That was close but I am honestly not sure where it is going. One day a nice volume spike than nothing for a while. Surely they have to have some cash on hand?
Did you notice the spike up?
Less jobs mean more people going back to school. More people going back to school means more money for companies like these.

The 10-day simple moving average is bearish and moving down for APOL.
Average volume increase over 5% for APOL.
Especially when the news will not be able to refute the statistics compared to traditional schools. Not a play for me... at $36pps... I have had much better results down below $5pps.
UOP is going to be fine, what they are doing now is simply transitioning from a 'enrollment/numbers' focus to a 'quality' focus. The Street doesn't like it, but it will in a few years.
Yeah I know... I have done some raw DD on the owners and these guys have built one hell-of-a business... and still growing!
Another opportunity that should have been much more clear to me years ago.. as I am now paying a combined 86 grand to put my two daughters through ONE year of college.
Of course there are going to be stories like that when you have a few hundred thousand students, lol. But I know many UOP graduates who are doing really well out there. In fact, many of them better than people who graduated from 'traditional' schools.
My Brother works for them down in Georgia and just told the stock took a big dip... yep... down 25%.
He said they are finally getting on board with running the system based more upon "quality" initiatives than purely going for headcount.
Pheonix University was on 20/20 or one of those shows about two months ago where the program had interviewed several staff who stated that management pressured the individuals responsible for the headcount to lie/mislead potential students about what the students would be able to do with their degrees upon graduation. One nursing student said she graduated, was never in a hospital the whole four years while attending the school, and upon graduation, was told by all of the local hospitals that she did not have sufficient credentials to be hired as a nurse. WOW!
She's the only green one out there right now in my watchlist. Apollo is going to be around for a very long time, they are doing the right things and provide a neccessary service in education the 'traditional' schools do not.
I've been watching this stock for a while. Seems like a good long hold.
They sure seem to have a good sized moat.
