The latest announcement is out from Global Education Communities ( (TSE:GEC) ).

Global Education Communities Corp. reported modest revenue growth to $7.6 million in its first quarter ended November 30, 2025, alongside a sharp improvement in profitability metrics, with net income from continuing operations turning positive and adjusted EBITDA surging compared with the prior year. The results mark the company’s first full quarter after divesting most of its educational division to concentrate on its student housing portfolio, where it is advancing several major projects, including the on-schedule, on-budget GEC Oakridge tower, permit progress for the GEC Education Mega Center in Surrey, and rezoning approval for GEC Langara, while also refinancing nearly all operational properties with lower-cost CMHC-sponsored mortgages; near-zero vacancy and premium rents across its portfolio underscore strong demand, supporting its strategy of further expansion in 2026 to build scale in its GEC Living platform.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:GEC) stock is a Buy with a C$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Global Education Communities stock, see the TSE:GEC Stock Forecast page.
