Stride Inc. (NYSE:LRN) is considered one of the cheap US stocks to buy according to analysts. Despite a price target cut to $82 from $108 by BMO Capital, the company’s stability with partners has been noted following a failed platform integration. However, operational issues overshadowed strong financial growth in FQ1 2026, leading to a substantial negative impact on enrollment.

The failed technology platform integration at Stride led to ~10,000 to 15,000 fewer enrollments, but total enrollments still grew by 11.3%. Revenue reached $620.9 million, up 13% year-over-year, driven by the Career Learning segment, which saw revenue of $241.5 million, up 21%.

Stride Inc. (NYSE:LRN) provides online curriculum, software systems, and educational services in the US and internationally. While LRN has investment potential, some AI stocks may offer greater upside potential and less downside risk, particularly in the context of Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend.
