For-Profit Education Stocks Are “In Play”

From a trading perspective, I now believe that “for-profit” education stocks are in play.
Here’s why…
The United States Department of Education is a cabinet-level department of the United States government.
It began operating on May 4th, 1980 after the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was split into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services by the Department of Education Organization Act, which President Jimmy Carter signed into law on October 17th, 1979.
The Department of Education has 4,400 employees – which makes it one of the smallest Cabinet agencies. In 2024, they had a budget of $238 billion.
Any now, it’s at risk of being dismantled…
In October of 2023, Trump said “One thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states.”
Whether or not this will happen is still up in the air.
However, the mere threat of this development could be the trigger catalyst to initiate a new series of trades.
Specifically…
If the new administration keeps their promise – and begins dismantling the US Education Department, then we could see a rush back into for-profit education stocks.
Three names could see a boost…
- Grand Canyon Education (LOPE)
- Adtalem Global Education (ATGE)
- Strategic Education (STRA)
YOUR ACTION PLAN
Right now, as this uncertain and uncharted political agenda gets going in 2025, all three of these for-profit education stocks are “in play.”
The instant any of them trigger, I’ll issue a new trade.
To join the conversation, and possibly receive this trade the moment it triggers, you’re invited to join myself and Karim tomorrow at 2:00 PM EST – LIVE – in Catalyst Cashouts.
