In a report released today, Alexander Paris from Barrington reiterated a Buy rating on Zovio Inc (ZVO), with a price target of $10. The company’s shares opened today at $5.70, close to its 52-week low of $4.77.
Paris commented:
“We view the transition of the company to a high-growth education technology services company as exciting and the current valuation an attractive entry point, despite our lower near-term earnings expectations. Recognizing that 2019 is a transition year as we await accreditor (WASC) approval for the non- profit conversion of Ashford, we are reiterating our OUTPERFORM investment rating. Given our lower earnings expectations, however, we are reducing our price target to $10 (from $15), still representing a double from current levels.”
