Stride reported fiscal Q2 revenue of $631.3 million, up 7.5% year-over-year, driven by total enrollments of 248,500 students, a 7.8% increase. Adjusted EPS rose 5.5% to $2.50, surpassing the consensus estimate of $2.01. Operating income margin expanded by 120 basis points to 18.2%, reflecting improved cost controls following prior platform investments.

Career learning programs delivered an 17.6% surge in student sign-ups, with middle and high school tracks leading the growth. General education enrollments stabilized after earlier digital rollout setbacks, resulting in an overall net increase of 6,000 students compared to the prior quarter. The career segment now represents 32% of total enrollments, up from 28% a year ago.

After experiencing user-interface delays and onboarding bottlenecks during the initial platform release last fall, Stride engineers completed a system-wide update in December. Customer support tickets related to login failures fell by 85% month-over-month, and course completion rates recovered to 92%, matching pre-rollout levels. Management indicated these fixes will underpin stability for future course expansions.

Management reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance of $2.48–$2.555 billion, implying roughly 5% growth, and increased the adjusted operating income target to a range of $485–$505 million, up from prior guidance of $470–$500 million. The company projects cash flow from operations to exceed $300 million this fiscal year, supporting continued investment in digital content and strategic acquisitions.
