Starbucks Plans Price Cuts in China Amid Intensifying Competition
The company recently announced it will reduce the prices of several iced beverages in China by an average of 5 yuan (about $0.70) nationwide, starting June 10.
The US coffee company shared on its Weixin account that the move aims to make a wide range of drinks, including non-coffee options and Frappuccinos, more affordable as market competition grows and consumers become more cautious with their spending.
Although China is Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX)'s second-largest market after the US, the coffee industry there is fiercely competitive, and many consumers are cutting back due to economic uncertainty and job concerns. According to a recent update, some Starbucks beverages will now be available for as little as 23 yuan.
A source familiar with the matter said the price adjustment isn't meant to match competitors, but rather to draw more afternoon traffic. While Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) has previously stated it would avoid price wars, it has introduced smaller drink sizes and offered coupons that effectively bring down costs for consumers. The company is also exploring ways to revitalize its operations in China, including selling stakes in the business.
While we acknowledge the potential of SBUX as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Why Upstart Stock Is Plummeting Today
Key Points Upstart reported its Q2 results and actually beat Wall Street's sales and earnings targets. The lending specialist also raised its full-year revenue target, but the stock is still getting crushed today. Investors are worried about inflation headwinds and competitive risks, but those who are risk tolerant may want to take a close look at the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Upstart › The stock of Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) is sinking today following the company's recent earnings report. The fintech specialist's share price was down 18.2% as of 3:05 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 was up 0.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.1%. Upstart released its second-quarter results after the market closed Tuesday and reported sales and earnings for the period that came in significantly ahead of Wall Street's targets. The company also raised its full-year sales outlook, but some cautious commentary from management spurred a big sell-off today. Upstart sinks despite strong Q2 results By most measures, Upstart delivered a strong earnings update with its second-quarter release. The company posted earnings per share of $0.15 on sales of $257 million, crushing the average analyst estimate's calls for a per-share loss of $0.10 on sales of $225.4 million. Loans originated through the company's artificial intelligence (AI) lending platform rose 159% year over year to reach nearly 372,600, and overall revenue was up roughly 101%. Even though the business posted an operating loss of $4.5 million in the period, performance from investments delivered an unexpected profit in the quarter. Management even raised its full-year revenue outlook in conjunction with the report, but the beat-and-raise quarter hasn't been enough to prevent big sell-offs. What's next for Upstart? The company said that inflation continues to be a significant risk factor, and said it was seeing more competitive activity in the business' key service niches. On the other hand, it actually raised its full-year sales performance target to approximately $1.055 billion -- up from its previous guidance for about $1.01 billion. With the stock seeing a big pullback despite a strong second quarter and encouraging performance outlook for the rest of the year, today's trading could present a worthwhile buying opportunity for risk-tolerant investors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure based on US GAAP, excluding interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, litigation costs, acquisition-related costs, and write-off of long-lived assets. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure based on US GAAP, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and amortization of share-based compensation capitalized in intangible assets, and to include the tax effect of adjustments. We define adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization of certain intangible assets, and adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue. We define FCF as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchase of property and equipment, and capitalized costs included in intangible assets.

The expected federal and state income tax rate was approximately 26.00% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 25.75% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The following is a reconciliation of gross profit, the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure, to adjusted gross profit: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (Dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Revenue $ 21,774 $ 19,056 $ 43,777 $ 36,567 Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) (3,501 ) (3,455 ) (7,162 ) (7,211 ) Depreciation and amortization related to cost of revenue (2,595 ) (2,322 ) (5,095 ) (4,536 ) Gross profit 15,678 13,279 31,520 24,820 Depreciation and amortization of certain intangible assets(1) 2,560 2,322 5,012 4,536 Adjusted gross profit $ 18,238 $ 15,601 $ 36,532 $ 29,356 Gross margin 72 % 70 % 72 % 68 % Adjusted gross margin 84 % 82 % 83 % 80 %(1) Depreciation and amortization of certain intangible assets primarily consists of the amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs, which are included within intangible assets and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The following is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure, to FCF: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (Dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 7,487 $ 5,717 $ 12,488 $ 10,022 Less: Purchase of property and equipment (202 ) (52 ) (252 ) (117 ) Capitalized costs included in intangible assets (2,515 ) (2,411 ) (4,984 ) (4,738 ) Free cash flow $ 4,770 $ 3,254 $ 7,252 $ 5,167 In order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the operating results that management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, we present non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and FCF as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We believe they provide useful information to our investors as they eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. In addition, we use them as an integral part of our internal reporting to measure the performance and operating strength of our business. We believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and FCF are relevant and provide useful information frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours and are indicators of the operational strength of our business. We believe adjusted EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of considerable amounts of non-cash depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and the impact of other non-recurring items, providing useful comparisons versus prior periods or forecasts. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We believe adjusted net income provides additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and amortization of share-based compensation capitalized in intangible assets, and to include the tax effect of adjustments. We define adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. Our adjusted gross profit is a measure used by management in evaluating the business's current operating performance by excluding the impact of prior historical costs of assets that are expensed systematically and allocated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which may not be indicative of the current operating activity. We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization of certain intangible assets. We believe adjusted gross profit provides useful information to our investors by eliminating the impact of certain non-cash depreciation and amortization, and primarily the amortization of software developed for internal use, providing a baseline of our core operating results that allow for analyzing trends in our underlying business consistently over multiple periods. Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue. We believe FCF is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business. FCF is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate the business's operating performance and trends over time. FCF is calculated by using net cash provided by operating activities, less purchase of property and equipment, and capitalized costs included in intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and FCF are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, financial measures presented in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, FCF is not intended to represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. The way we measure adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and FCF may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements. SUPPLEMENTAL METRICS The following metrics are intended as a supplement to the financial statements found in this release and other information furnished or filed with the SEC. These supplemental metrics are not necessarily derived from any underlying financial statement amounts. We believe these supplemental metrics help investors understand trends within our business and evaluate the performance of such trends quickly and effectively. In the event of discrepancies between amounts in these tables and the Company's historical disclosures or financial statements, readers should rely on the Company's filings with the SEC and financial statements in the Company's most recent earnings release. We intend to periodically review and refine the definition, methodology and appropriateness of each of these supplemental metrics. As a result, metrics are subject to removal and/or changes, and such changes could be material.

Billable customers are typically corporate organizations. In most cases, corporate organizations will have multiple users and/or departments purchasing our solutions, however, we count the entire organization as a discrete customer.(2) We define a user of FOREWARN as a unique person that has a subscription to use the FOREWARN service as of the last day of the period. A unique person can only have one user account.(3) Contractual revenue % represents revenue generated from customers pursuant to pricing contracts containing a monthly fee and any additional overage divided by total revenue. Pricing contracts are generally annual contracts or longer, with auto renewal.(4) Gross revenue retention is defined as the revenue retained from existing customers, net of reinstated revenue, and excluding expansion revenue. Revenue is measured once a customer has generated revenue for six consecutive months. Revenue is considered lost when all revenue from a customer ceases for three consecutive months; revenue generated by a customer after the three-month loss period is defined as reinstated revenue. Gross revenue retention percentage is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis. The numerator of which is revenue lost during the period due to attrition, net of reinstated revenue, and the denominator of which is total revenue based on an average of total revenue at the beginning of each month during the period, with the quotient subtracted from one. Our gross revenue retention calculation excludes revenue from idiVERIFIED, which is purely transactional and currently represents less than 3% of total revenue.

(NASDAQ: LOPE), ("GCE" or the "Company"), is a publicly traded education services company that currently provides services to 20 university partners. GCE provides a full array of support services in the post-secondary education sector and has developed significant technological solutions, infrastructure and operational processes to provide superior services in these areas on a large scale. GCE today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results For the three months ended June 30, 2025: Service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $247.5 million, an increase of $20.0 million, or 8.8%, as compared to service revenue of $227.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase year over year in service revenue was primarily due to an increase in partner enrollments of 10.3% to 117,283 at June 30, 2025 as compared to 106,307 at June 30, 2024. Revenue per student decreased slightly between years primarily due to contract modifications for some of our university partners in which the revenue share percentage was reduced in exchange for us no longer reimbursing these partners for certain faculty costs both of which had the effect of reducing revenue per student and a slight decline year over year in revenue per student for online students due to the continued mix shift to students that have a slightly lower net tuition rate. These decreases were partially offset by the service revenue per student for accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing ("ABSN") students at off-campus classroom and laboratory sites generating a significantly higher revenue per student than we earn under our agreement with Grand Canyon University ("GCU"), our most significant partner, as these agreements generally provide us with a higher revenue share percentage, the partners have higher tuition rates than GCU and the majority of our partners' students take more credits on average per semester. GCU enrollments increased to 113,435 at June 30, 2025, an increase of 10.5% over enrollments at June 30, 2024. University partner enrollments at our off-campus classroom and laboratory sites were 4,990, an increase of 14.0% over enrollments at June 30, 2024, which includes 1,142 and 746 GCU students at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding sites closing in 2024 to new enrollments, total enrollments at our off-campus classroom and laboratory sites increased 15.4% between years. We opened six sites in the year ended December 31, 2024 and opened two new sites in the six months ended June 30, 2025 while closing two sites in which we stopped recruiting new students in 2024 bringing the total number of these sites to 45 at June 30, 2025, which has also positively impacted the enrollment growth. Enrollments for GCU ground students were 8,579 at June 30, 2025 up from 7,397 at June 30, 2024. GCU online enrollments were 104,856 at June 30, 2025, up from 95,279 at June 30, 2024, an increase of 10.1% between years. GCU enrollment declines between March 31 and June 30 of each year as ground traditional enrollment at GCU at June 30 of each year only includes traditional-aged students taking summer school classes, which is a small percentage GCU's traditional-aged student body. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $51.8 million, an increase of $9.1 million, or 21.2%, as compared to $42.7 million for the same period in 2024. The operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 20.9% and 18.8%, respectively. The second quarter operating income and operating margin was positively impacted on a year over year basis by contract modifications for some of our university partners in which the revenue share percentage was reduced in exchange for us no longer reimbursing the partner for certain faculty costs which had the effect of reducing operating expenses and revenue per student and $1.1 million in severance costs recorded in the second quarter of 2024 related to an executive officer that resigned effective June 30, 2024. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $13.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 12.7%, as compared to income tax expense of $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our effective tax rate was 24.5% during the second quarter of 2025 compared to 25.5% during the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate decreased year over year primarily due to changes in state income taxes. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $41.5 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 19.1% as compared to $34.9 million for the same period in 2024. As adjusted net income was $43.2 million and $37.3 million for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Diluted net income per share was $1.48 and $1.19 for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. As adjusted diluted net income per share was $1.53 and $1.27 for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.2% to $67.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $58.5 million for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025: Service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $536.8 million, an increase of $34.7 million, or 6.9%, as compared to service revenue of $502.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase year over year in service revenue was primarily due to an increase in partner enrollments of 10.3% to 117,283 at June 30, 2025 as compared to 106,307 at June 30, 2024. Revenue per student decreased slightly between years primarily due to the additional day for leap year in 2024 which added additional service revenue of $1.5 million as compared to the current year and contract modifications for some of our university partners in which the revenue share percentage was reduced in exchange for us no longer reimbursing these partners for certain faculty costs, both of which had the effect of reducing revenue per student and a slight decline year over year in revenue per student for online students due to the continued mix shift to students that have a slightly lower net tuition rate . These decreases were partially offset by the service revenue per student for ABSN students at off-campus classroom and laboratory sites generating a significantly higher revenue per student than we earn under our agreement with GCU, as these agreements generally provide us with a higher revenue share percentage, the partners have higher tuition rates than GCU and the majority of our partners' students take more credits on average per semester. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $139.8 million, an increase of $12.6 million, or 9.9%, as compared to $127.2 million for the same period in 2024. The operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 26.0% and 25.3%, respectively. The operating income and operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were positively impacted by contract modifications for some of our university partners in which the revenue share percentage was reduced in exchange for us no longer reimbursing the partner for certain faculty costs which had the effect of reducing operating expenses and revenue per student and $1.1 million recorded in the second quarter related to an executive officer that resigned effective June 30, 2024, partially offset by the additional day for leap year in 2024 which added additional service revenue of $1.5 million as compared to the current year. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $33.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 3.5%, as compared to income tax expense of $32.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our effective tax rate was 22.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 23.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate decreased year over year primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits to $2.7 million as compared to $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and changes in state income taxes. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $113.2 million, an increase of $10.3 million, or 10.0% as compared to $102.9 million for the same period in 2024. As adjusted net income was $116.5 million and $107.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Diluted net income per share was $4.00 and $3.48 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As adjusted diluted net income per share was $4.12 and $3.62 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.8% to $169.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $157.1 million for the same period in 2024. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our liquidity position, as measured by cash and cash equivalents and investments increased by $49.3 million between December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, which was largely attributable to cash provided by operations exceeding our share repurchases and capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and investments were $373.9 million and $324.6 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Grand Canyon Education, Inc.

Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC. Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measure) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, less interest income and other gain (loss) recognized on investments, plus income tax expense, and plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted for (i) contributions to private Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the payment of state income taxes; (ii) share-based compensation; and (iii) unusual charges or gains, such as litigation and regulatory reserves, impairment charges and asset write-offs, severance costs, and exit or lease termination costs. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA. All of the adjustments made in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are adjustments to items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period and does not consider the items for which we make adjustments (as listed above) to be reflective of our core performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting relative interest expense, including the impact of write-offs of deferred financing costs when companies refinance their indebtedness), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), the book amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), and other items that we do not consider reflective of underlying operating performance. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties as a measure of performance. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments described above. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual, non-routine, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool in that, among other things, it does not reflect: cash expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements; interest expense, or the cash required to replace assets that are being depreciated or amortized; and the impact on our reported results of earnings or charges resulting from the items for which we make adjustments to our EBITDA, as described above and set forth in the table below. In addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with and reported under GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and only use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure for the periods indicated:Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2025202420252024 (Unaudited, in thousands) (Unaudited, in thousands) Net income$ 41,546$ 34,878$ 113,164$ 102,888 Plus: interest expense — 2 — 4 Less: investment interest and other (3,226) (4,112) (6,607) (7,841) Plus: income tax expense 13,469 11,951 33,255 32,146 Plus: amortization of intangible assets 2,105 2,105 4,210 4,210 Plus: depreciation and amortization 7,809 6,928 15,260 13,581 EBITDA 61,703 51,752 159,282 144,988 Plus: share-based compensation 3,487 3,996 7,117 7,479 Plus: litigation and regulatory costs 2,159 1,601 2,902 3,471 Plus: severance costs — 1,133 — 1,133 Plus: loss on fixed asset disposal 62 44 78 44 Adjusted EBITDA$ 67,411$ 58,526$ 169,379$ 157,115 Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Income Per Share The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share information that excludes amortization of intangible assets, severance costs and loss on disposal of fixed assets allows investors to develop a more meaningful understanding of the Company's performance over time. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the table below provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP items to GAAP net income and GAAP diluted income per share, respectively:Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2025202420252024(Unaudited, in thousands except per share data)GAAP Net income$ 41,546$ 34,878$ 113,164$ 102,888 Amortization of intangible assets 2,105 2,105 4,210 4,210 Severance costs — 1,133 — 1,133 Loss on disposal of fixed assets 62 44 78 44 Income tax effects of adjustments(1) (531) (837) (974) (1,282) As Adjusted, Non-GAAP Net income$ 43,182$ 37,323$ 116,478$ 106,993GAAP Diluted income per share$ 1.48$ 1.19$ 4.00$ 3.48 Amortization of intangible assets (2) 0.05 0.05 0.11 0.11 Severance costs (3) — 0.03 — 0.03 Loss on disposal of fixed assets (4) 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 As Adjusted, Non-GAAP Diluted income per share$ 1.53$ 1.27$ 4.12$ 3.62 (1) The income tax effects of adjustments are based on the effective income tax rate applicable to adjusted (non-GAAP) results.
