The five investor questions

32

2025–2026 (latest 2 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $1.0B to $1.0B, increasing; diluted EPS 3.51 to 2.29, decreasing. Two-year history is scoreable but carries less confidence than a full-cycle record.

—

Not enough years of gross-margin data to score pricing power.

100

Median ROIC 80.7%, above the 12% hurdle in 100% of years.

73

Net debt/EBITDA n/ax, interest coverage 60x.

20

Owner earnings changed -31.4%/yr over up to the ten most recent annual observations, share count n/a.

The pricingPower component abstained: Not enough years of gross-margin data to score pricing power. The other four 20% weights were renormalized over the scored 80%.

Price vs. value if growth stopped today

A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.

Above value if growth stopped todayBelow value if growth stopped today

A discount this large is often a warning rather than a bargain — the market may expect earnings to keep falling. See the revenue trend above.

How to read this

What today’s price assumes: owner earnings shrinking ~8%/yr over 5 years. The estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).

We solve for the constant annual change in owner earnings that would make the five-year zero-growth estimate equal today’s price. This keeps the existing model inputs and calculation unchanged; it is an expectations lens, not a forecast.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. Flag status unavailable — four adjacent recent FY revenue observations are required.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 265% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

3 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

PXED's latest filed year, FY2026, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

Common questions about PXED

Does Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2026 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. (PXED) 56.1 out of 100 — a Shallow moat. The five questions behind that score begin at 20% each; if exactly one genuinely lacks data, the other four weights are renormalized and disclosed. revenue and EPS trend 32, pricing power not measurable from the filings, returns on capital 100, balance-sheet safety 73, capital allocation 20.
Is PXED trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $34.55 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $23.39, that is 32% below value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
How has PXED's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 38 readings since Jul 18, 2026; the latest reads 56.1 out of 100 (shallow moat). Tier changes so far: Not rated → Shallow moat on Nov 4, 2026. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
