Based upon historical earnings growth, I think this stock should be valued near $259.25 using discounted cash flows over the next 5 years. This produces a safety margin of 77%. The biggest downside that I see is that it is widely shorted, which may drive the price down in the near term.

It's a very simple play, for profit colleges are enrolling ever fewer students because they are not only expensive, but of dubious value. This is not something seen at just one college, but look at all the for profits. They may beat eps, but ever declining new students will mean continue decline in earnings creating a vicious cycle of ever lower p/e. Until they fundamentally prove their worth and get it out, I don't see how they are going to succeed in the long term.
