Second-quarter revenue reaches USD 264.05 million
Grand Canyon Education reported USD 264.05 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 247.50 million in the second quarter of 2025. That is a calculated increase of 6.69 percent, based on the figures published by Markets Insider.
Net profit rose to USD 45.85 million in the second quarter of 2026 from USD 41.55 million in the year-earlier period, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 1.75. The combination of revenue growth and higher profit is the main operating counterweight to the stock's distance from its analyst targets.

That date puts fresh guidance at the center of the next valuation discussion. The second-quarter figures provide the latest reported operating base, while Barrington's USD 200.00 target remains a higher reference than the primary-exchange quote of USD 155.55 on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET.
