How LAUREATE EDUCATION INC looks technically
LAUREATE EDUCATION INC (LAUR) is trading 9.9% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 637 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 28, with buyers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 56, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day high about 7 trading days ago. It is 4.8% below its all-time high.

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 56, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 56.4 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading around the middle of its 14-day range ($37.93 to $40.14) — its "stochastic" reading is 47 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 46.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 20 sessions |
Range

| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $40.92 | $40.92 |

| From the 52-week high | it is 4.8% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -4.8% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 56.0% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +56.0% |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $40.92 (set on 2026-07-30) | $40.92 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($28.88 to $40.46), and it has given back only a small part of its rise from last year’s low — 13% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $32.93 to $33.30. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 12.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 4.8% below its all-time high | -4.8% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 2.2% above a support level at $38.09 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-02-19, most recently on 2026-06-12. Since 2024-10-21 it has 17 such levels below the current price and 1 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -2.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $7.30 (set on 2020-03-19) | $7.30 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 433.7% above its all-time low | +433.7% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are narrower than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (tighter than about 84% of it) | 16th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.9385 between its high and its low — about 2.4% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.9385 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $37.06 and $40.08 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $37.06 – $38.57 – $40.08 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.4% in a typical session — calmer than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 2.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.7 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (9.9% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 3.7 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

|---|---|---|
| Since a bearish engulfing | 3 sessions ago it opened above the previous session's close and finished below that session's open — a "bearish engulfing" pair, where one down day more than undid the up day before it | 3 sessions ago |
Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-20 0.6% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | +0.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.6% gap down opened on 2026-08-03 has been "filled" 53 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 2 sessions to close | 53 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, MACD momentum is positive, a strong uptrend, with buyers in control, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 0 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 0 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 2.6% above the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-14 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is moderate, spanning 2.5% of the share price. | +2.6% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 11% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $35.10 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 198 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +11.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 3% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-30 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $37.69 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 58 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +3.4% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-20.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
