gell? So ein Debakel aber auch. Dabei ist COCO sogar glimpflicher weggekommen als manche andere Firma der Branche (Strayer minus 23%). Trotzdem ist der Chart jetzt kaputt -- kann man nichts machen, wenn es schon mit Abwärtslücke von 10% eröffnet. Der Chart sah so gut aus, aber wie gesagt hat der Markt da manches wohl nicht gewusst...

NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of for-profit universities and training schools tumbled Monday after Strayer Education Inc. said new student enrollments for its winter term slid a steep 20 percent.
That's a marked change from last year, when new student sign-ups at Strayer jumped 16 percent during the winter term. They dipped just 2 percent during the most recent fall term. Strayer said that if the trends of its winter term continue throughout 2011, total student enrollment will be down 5 percent this year, resulting in earnings per share of $7.50 to $7.70. That's well below the $10.46 per share expected by analysts surveyed by FactSet.
The decline at Strayer, which the company's CEO attributed primarily to recent scrutiny by public policy commentators and media of the for-profit education industry, is likely going to drag down investor expectations for the rest of the sector, said UBS analyst Ariel Sokol.
Analysts, surprised by the significant drop in Strayer's enrollments, slashed earnings estimates and their ratings on the stock. Baird analyst Amy Junker cut her earnings estimate for 2011 to $8.15 per share from $11.38 per share. Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia cut his rating to "Sell" from "Neutral."
