An update from EDU Holdings Limited ( (AU:EDU) ) is now available.

EDU Holdings reported record Term 1 2026 enrolments of 6,627 students, up 36% year on year, driven by strong growth at Ikon Institute, which now accounts for 80% of total enrolments. New student enrolments rose 5% to 1,163, with higher education representing 90% of new intake, supported by strong demand for recently launched postgraduate offerings and a record domestic student cohort.

Courses introduced in 2025 contributed nearly a quarter of Ikon’s latest trimester enrolments, while new Bachelor and Master of Social Work programs launched in 2026 are expected to deepen the higher education mix and revenue visibility due to longer course durations. Vocational enrolments at Australian Learning Group softened amid tighter visa settings, but the segment remains strategically important for student diversity and pathways, as the company implements mitigation strategies and diversifies recruitment channels ahead of regulatory changes to agent commissions.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:EDU) stock is a Hold with a A$0.79 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on EDU Holdings Limited stock, see the AU:EDU Stock Forecast page.
