EDU Holdings Maps Response to New Ban on Agent Commissions for Onshore Student Transfers

EDU Holdings Limited ( (AU:EDU) ) has issued an update.

EDU Holdings Limited has outlined the implications of amendments to Australia’s National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students, which will prohibit education providers from paying recruitment commissions to agents for international students transferring between onshore providers before completing their principal course, effective for new acceptances from 1 April 2026. While this change affects a material share of new enrolments at its Ikon Institute, EDU expects underlying demand for its courses to remain resilient and is adapting by reworking its agent engagement models, expanding direct recruitment into the onshore international market, pushing harder into offshore recruitment, and further growing domestic enrolments, particularly at postgraduate level, leaving the ultimate financial impact uncertain but positioning the company to maintain competitiveness under the new regulatory settings.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:EDU) stock is a Hold with a A$0.91 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on EDU Holdings Limited stock, see the AU:EDU Stock Forecast page.
