Winston Score History

The full picture

EDU Holdings Limited is an Australian education company that provides vocational training and higher education courses to students. It operates registered training organisations (RTOs) and higher education providers, offering qualifications in areas like business, community services, and healthcare. The company serves domestic Australian students as well as international students studying in Australia.

EDU makes money by charging tuition fees directly to students, and it also receives government-funded training subsidies through Australia's vocational education system. The business operates primarily in Australia and, with a market cap of around $200 million, is a smaller player in a fragmented sector. Its relatively high returns on invested capital suggest efficient use of its assets, but the company faces real risks from regulatory changes to government funding programs and visa policy shifts that could reduce international student enrolments — both of which are outside management's direct control.
