What this company does

Its platform addresses two markets in the K-12 space: General Education and Career Learning. General Education products and services focus predominantly on core subjects, including math, English, science and history, for kindergarten through twelfth grade students. Career Learning products and services focus on developing skills to enter and succeed in careers in high-growth, in-demand industries, including information technology, healthcare and general business. Stride was founded in 2000. In 2020, it expanded its Career Learning opportunity by acquiring three adult learning companies: Galvanize, Tech Elevator, and MedCerts.

Written from the business description in Stride, Inc.'s annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 5 August 2026. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.

Revenue compounded at +10.4% a year over five years — but profit grew faster: net income at +36.5%, earnings per share at +33.1%.

The share count fell from 0.04B to 0.04B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.

Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
