Jansen Greg E. Sell
SVP, General Counsel
30,158 shares
$1,146,004
@ $38.00
Significance 4/10

SVP/General Counsel Greg Jansen sold 30,158 shares of PRDO at $38.00 for $1.1M on 2026-04-06, reducing holdings 26.7%.

Jansen sold 30,158 shares at $38.00, representing a 26.7% reduction in his stake and bringing post-transaction holdings to 82,970 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $37.95, with current price at $36.97. His cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +1.7% and a 50.00% well-timed rate; at PRDO specifically, his 1 of 2 prior sells showed mixed results (one 90-day return of -11.6%, one of +15.0%). The company shows solid fundamentals: $211.9M quarterly revenue, +24.2% annual growth, $39.8M net income, and a P/E of 13.74, suggesting valuation is not distressed. The sale's magnitude and near-peak-price timing warrant monitoring for broader context, though the insider retains substantial holdings (83.0K shares) post-transaction.

NELSON TODD S Sell
President and CEO
84,387 shares
$3,029,584
@ $35.90
Significance 6/10

PRDO CEO Todd Nelson sold 84,387 shares for $3,029,583.55 in 3 tranches (3/23–3/25) at blended avg $35.90, reducing holding by -19.5%

Nelson Todd S, President and CEO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 84,387 shares for $3,029,583.55 over 3 consecutive trading days (March 23–25, 2026), reducing his post-transaction holdings to 347,981 shares from 432,368 shares pre-transaction. The stock currently trades at $37.86, a 52-week high, and has appreciated 19.1% over the past 30 days and 27.4% over 90 days. His prior sales at PRDO (December 2025) were all followed by further gains: 30-day returns of 6.0%–8.2% and 90-day returns of 17.9%–22.4%, indicating that his prior sells at this ticker were not well-timed, with 0 of 3 prior measurable sales followed by declines. The company reports strong fundamentals with revenue of $211,872,000.00, net income of $39,850,000.00, annual growth of 24.2%, and a P/E of 14.07. The timing of these sales near all-time highs, coupled with a pattern of his prior PRDO sales occurring during price run-ups, warrants observation of whether this represents a material shift in positioning or reflects liquidity management.

Ghia Ashish R Sell
CFO
33,271 shares
$1,167,258
@ $35.08
Significance 5/10

CFO Ghia Ashish R sold 33.3K shares at $35.08 avg; holds 155.7K post-trade in profitable, fast-growing firm (P/E 12.85).

Ghia Ashish R, CFO of PERDOCEO EDUCATION Corp, executed 2 separate sales on 2026-03-18 totaling 33,271 shares for $1,167,257.59, reducing holdings by 17.6% to 155,691 shares. The sales occurred at a blended average price of $35.08, near the 52-week high of $37.66 and above the current price of $34.56. At the ticker level, his prior 4 trades at PRDO showed 2 of 4 well-timed (negative 90d returns), though his cross-ticker track record demonstrated a 50.00% well-timing rate on sells with average 90d return of +12.7%. The company's fundamentals remain solid—$211.9M quarterly revenue, +24.2% annual growth, and a low P/E of 12.85—providing context that the sale does not occur against deteriorating operations. The timing of the sale near recent highs and relative to the stock's 30-day +8.2% gain merits observation, though without scheduled-trade disclosures, the motivation remains opaque.

NELSON TODD S Sell
President and CEO
51,346 shares

@ $34.89
Significance 6/10

CEO Todd Nelson sells 51,346 shares in 2 transactions for $1,791,510.00 at blended avg $34.89

Nelson Todd S, President and CEO, executed two separate sales on consecutive days (2026-03-16 and 2026-03-17), totaling 51,346 shares for $1,791,510.00 and reducing his holdings by 10.6%. The transaction prices ($34.86 and $35.00) align closely with the current price of $35.11 and remain within the 52-week range of $24.21–$37.66. At PRDO, his track record shows mixed timing: 3 of 5 prior sales were followed by strong 90-day returns (+19.3%, +22.4%, +17.9%), while 2 were preceded or accompanied by declines (-16.2%, -15.9%), yielding a 40% well-timed rate at this ticker. The company's fundamentals show robust growth—annual revenue growth of +24.2%, a P/E of 13.05, and net income of $39,850,000.00 on quarterly revenue of $211,872,000.00. The timing of this sale relative to company fundamentals and future stock performance will clarify whether this represents portfolio management or a forward signal; the magnitude of the sale and the CEO's retained position of 432,368 shares warrant monitoring.

Czeszewski David C. Sell
SVP, CIO
36,225 shares
$1,188,413
@ $32.81
Significance 4/10

SVP/CIO Czeszewski sells 36,225 shares for $1,188,412.53 at $32.81; cuts holding 34.5% post-transaction.

David C. Czeszewski, SVP and CIO at Perdoceo Education, executed 2 separate sales totaling 36,225 shares for $1,188,412.53 at a blended average price of $32.81 on 2026-02-25, reducing his post-transaction holding to 68,875 shares from 105,100 shares. The magnitude of the reduction—34.5% of his pre-transaction position—represents a material decrease in his direct equity stake. At PRDO specifically, Czeszewski's prior 3 sales (all on 2025-06-13) showed a 90-day timing pattern of 0 of 3 well-timed (the stock rose after each sale, suggesting poor exit timing); this current transaction occurs while the stock is near its 52-week high ($37.66) and trading at a current price of $33.35, suggesting he is selling into recent strength (+19.3% over 90 days). The company's fundamentals remain solid (revenue $211,872,000.00, net income $39,850,000.00, annual revenue growth +24.2%, P/E 12.40), so this large equity reduction does not appear driven by deteriorating business conditions but rather represents a discrete shift in his portfolio positioning.

NELSON TODD S Sell
President and CEO
120,000 shares
$3,522,000
@ $29.35
Significance 6/10

CEO Todd Nelson sells 120,000 PRDO shares for $3,522,000 at avg $29.35; stock now down 23.3% from 52-week high

NELSON TODD S, President and CEO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 120,000 shares for $3,522,000 over December 15–17, 2025, at prices ranging from $29.23 to $29.42. The transaction reduced his holdings by 22.9%, from 524,047 to 404,047 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred at a premium to the current price of $28.87, though the stock has declined 23.3% from its 52-week high of $37.66 and fallen 18.8% over the prior 90 days. At the same ticker, PRDO, this represents one of a series: his 5 prior sales at PRDO show 3 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative returns following the sale), including two within the past month (September 2025) with -16.2% and -15.9% 90-day returns. The fundamental picture shows modest profitability (P/E 11.88, net income $39.8M on revenue $211.9M) but recent revenue contraction of 4.0% year-over-year. The concentration of his sales activity and the pattern of prior PRDO sales correlating with subsequent declines warrant investor attention to whether the CEO's recent selling reflects views on near-term momentum or valuation.

NELSON TODD S Sell

120,000 shares
$4,180,800
@ $34.84
Significance 5/10

PRDO CEO Nelson Todd S sold 120,000 shares ($4.2M) at $34.78–$35.17 over 3 days; stock at 52-week high post-sale.

CEO Nelson Todd S executed 3 separate sales totaling 120,000 shares for $4,180,800.00 at prices ranging from $34.78 to $35.17 over September 15–17, 2025, reducing his holdings by 18.6% to 524,047 shares. The sales occurred precisely at the 52-week high of $35.32, with the current price at +0.0% from peak. The timing coincides with strong near-term momentum (30-day +10.8%, 90-day +9.4%), yet his prior PRDO trades have consistently underperformed on a 90-day basis—all 5 prior same-ticker sales recorded positive 90-day returns, indicating the stock moved upward after each previous exit. This divergence between immediate execution near highs and a historical pattern of selling ahead of further gains warrants attention to whether this transaction reflects a shift in CEO positioning relative to the company's fundamentals or simply execution during a favorable price window.

Significance 4/10

SVP/General Counsel Greg E. Jansen sold 30,234 shares of PRDO at $33.00 for $997,722.00 on 2025-08-22

Greg E. Jansen, SVP and General Counsel, sold 30,234 shares at $33.00 on 2025-08-22, reducing his holdings by 23.9% from 126,513 shares to 96,279 shares. The sale occurred within 3.0% of the 52-week high of $34.10, and the stock has risen 16.2% over the past 30 days and 3.2% over the past 90 days. At this ticker, Jansen's prior sale on 2025-04-10 was followed by a 90-day return of +15.0%, indicating the stock continued to appreciate after that sale; this current sale similarly occurs in a rising price environment. The company reported $209.6M in latest-quarter revenue and $41.0M net income, with an annual revenue decline of -4.0% and a P/E of 13.89, suggesting stable but not high-growth fundamentals.

Ghia Ashish R Sell

53,081 shares
$1,629,587
@ $30.70
Significance 5/10

CFO Ashish R Ghia sells 53,081 shares at $30.70 for $1.6M, reducing stake by 25.2%

Ghia Ashish R, CFO of PERDOCEO EDUCATION Corp, executed 2 separate sales totaling 53,081 shares at $30.70 for $1,629,586.70, reducing his holdings from 210,713 shares to 157,632 shares. At the transaction price of $30.70, the stock is currently down 9.4% from its 52-week high but up 5.5% over the past 30 days. His prior sales at PRDO (April 2025) showed 90-day returns of +25.7% and +27.0%, meaning the stock subsequently rose after those sales—a timing pattern that does not favor the earlier sales. This August sale occurs as the company shows annual revenue decline of 4.0% against a modest P/E of 12.99, suggesting a mature but moderating business. The substantial reduction in his personal stake warrants attention to any forward-looking disclosures or operational commentary from management.

@ $31.66
Significance 5/10

SVP/CIO David C. Czeszewski sold 30,892 shares of PRDO for $978,118.10 (-25.1% of holdings)

David C. Czeszewski, SVP and CIO at PERDOCEO EDUCATION Corp, executed 3 separate sales totaling 30,892 shares for $978,118.10 on 2025-06-13, reducing his holdings from 123,021 shares to 92,129 shares. The blended average sale price of $31.66 sits just 0.3% below the current price of $31.76, which is -6.9% from the 52-week high of $34.10. PRDO trades at a P/E of 13.69 with a market cap of $2.1B and generated $213.0M in quarterly revenue with $43.7M net income; however, annual revenue growth is -4.0% year-over-year. The sale represents a material reduction in an executive's stake but occurs within the stock's recent upward momentum (30-day: +1.3%, 90-day: +28.1%), with no pricing advantage relative to current levels evident from the transaction timing alone.
