APEI Surges with AI and Institutional Merge | Business and Finance News

American Public Education just smashed Q2 2026 numbers, boosting full-year revenue and EBITDA forecasts—revenue up 5.5% YoY (7.8% if you exclude a sold-off unit) and adjusted EBITDA soaring 36.8%. Their big win? Officially merging APUS, Rasmussen, and Hondros into one powerhouse with 290+ degrees and 109K students under one accreditation—and lifting enrollment caps on Rasmussen. They’re rolling out an AI-powered student platform with Salesforce by early 2027, starting with Health+. Health+ grew 11% thanks to more students and slight tuition hikes; Military+ also rose despite active-duty headwinds tied to Middle East deployments, with Army enrollments holding strong. They honored two fallen Military+ students. With simplified operations and tech in place, APEI is laser-focused on accelerating growth—and believes their models are AI-resistant.
