Analysis

Phoenix Education Partners, Inc (PXED) currently trades at $28.83, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $75.10, implying the stock looks roughly 160.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 78/100 (high quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Phoenix Education Partners, Inc generated revenue of $1.0B at a net margin of 9.6%. Revenue declined 0.4% year over year. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $63.2M. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 11.2. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $46.51 (bear case) to $97.63 (bull case); at $28.83, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 38% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 17% fair-value upside, at 160%, PXED screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($75.69) versus Asset-Based ($4.62). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

How we calculate Fair Value

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
