LRN shares are up 9% YTD and currently trade at only 4.2x our FY/19 (June) estimate of adjusted EBITDA, significantly below its online‐focused postsecondary education (9.0x) peer group. Based on the positive macro trends and company execution, we are reiterating our OUTPERFORM investment rating and raising our 12‐month price target to $25 (from $22), which conservatively assumes a 6x multiple on forward adjusted EBITDA."
