    Vasta's Higher Price Is Fair Given Market Improvements

    seekingalpha.com

    2025-08-15 08:55:23

    Vasta Platform's 2Q25 results show strong operational improvements, with student and school growth, higher revenues, and improved profitability, justifying the stock's price appreciation. Non-recurring accounting changes boosted reported earnings, but underlying cash earnings and free cash flow also rose significantly, supporting a fair valuation at current levels. Growth in public education contracts offers some upside, but private market saturation and potential macroeconomic headwinds in Brazil limit future growth rates.

    Morgan Stanley analyst Mauricio Cepeda lowered the firm's price target on Vasta Platform to $4 from $4.20 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares as part of a broader research note on Brazil Education Services. The new sector regulation will both reshape industry structure and reset economic equilibrium, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm adds however that while it sees strong ACV - Annual Contract Value - growth for Vasta in 2025, the company's long-term outlook lacks clarity. 06 Aug
