Jeffrey Silber has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Laureate Education’s strong operational performance and favorable market conditions. The company reported better-than-expected revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025, largely driven by favorable foreign exchange rates and operational outperformance, particularly in Peru. This operational strength is reflected in the increased enrollment figures, with Peru showing significant growth in its secondary intake period and Mexico experiencing modest enrollment increases despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Moreover, Laureate Education’s management has raised its guidance for 2025, indicating confidence in continued revenue and EBITDA growth. The company expects higher revenues and adjusted EBITDA than previously anticipated, attributing this to both foreign exchange benefits and underlying operational improvements. Additionally, the focus on higher education in Mexico and Peru, where the middle class is expanding, positions Laureate Education as a leading player in these growing markets. These factors collectively support Jeffrey Silber’s Buy rating for Laureate Education’s stock.
