Educators (APOL) (STRA) (DV) (ESI) Continue to Fall

Shares of for-profit educators like Apollo Group Inc. (APOL), Strayer Education Inc. (STRA), DeVry Inc. (DV) and ITT Educational Services Inc. (ESI) continue to fall, this time on the weak revenue guidance from Apollo of $4.25 billion, down from analyst estimates of $4.55 billion.

DeVry (NYSE:DV) Margins Pressured, But Among Top in Sector

As with all the companies in the for-profit educational sector, DeVry's (NYSE:DV) margins will be under pressure going forward, but they remain one of the top companies in the sector.

FBR says, "Although we anticipate slowing enrollment growth and rising costs related to new student acquisitions, compliance, and necessary investments in education services to pressure margins, we continue to believe DeVry remains among the better-positioned companies in the group due to its higher quality and more diversified student population. As such, we believe DeVry offers investors a better risk-adjusted way to capture potential upside in the for-profit industry.

"To account for the better-than-expected F2Q11 results and a stronger 2H11 outlook, we are raising our FY11 and FY12 EPS estimates to $4.64 and $4.45, respectively, from $3.91 and $3.67. Note that our estimates do not take into account possible impacts of gainful employment regulations."

FBR Capital maintains an "Outperform" rating on DeVry (DV), which was trading at $52.07, gaining $4.69, or 9.90 percent, as of 1:03 PM EST. FBR raised their price target on DeVry from $50 to $55.

DeVry (NYSE:DV) Growth Appear Sustainable Say FBR Capital

In the midst of a regulatory atmosphere and growth challenges, it seems DeVry (NYSE:DV) will continue to grow in a tough sector at this time, according to FBR Capital.

"We are reiterating our rating and price target on DeVry shares following today's release of fall 2010 enrollment figures. Although the company's Carrington schools reported a dramatic decline in new starts, we believe the impact is manageable, and the core DeVry, Keller, and Chamberlain institutions are posting reasonable growth. Overall, we expect that consensus estimates for DeVry will still have to come down over time, as the cost of compliance, new student acquisitions, and education services will weigh on results. Nevertheless, we believe much of this is already priced into the name, and we believe the company will be one of the survivors once the regulatory dust settles," said FBR.

They reiterate their "Outperform" rating on DeVry, which closed Tuesday at $43.98, up $0.10, or 0.23 percent. FBR has a price target of $50 on DeVry.
