Laureate Education: An Impressive Turnaround Story But Price Doesn't Compensate For The Risk Associated With It

Summary Laureate's strategy to refocus on geographic markets with superior profitability and market leadership has resulted in an impressive turnaround for the company.

Despite the impressive turnaround and attractive high returns on capital, I believe Laureate's current market valuation doesn't compensate for the risk associated with Peru and Mexico. Due to currency and geographical risk, as well as higher cost of capital, Laureate needs to sell at a higher earnings yield to compensate for these risks. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
