Most stocks in the Education sector are trading lower today as bearish notes from Credit Suisse on ITT (NYSE: ESI) and DeVry (NYSE: DV) may be striking a chord with investors in the group.
Credit Suisse downgraded shares of ITT and DeVry from Outperform to Neutral, saying that a regulatory draft on gainful employment (which the firm previously cited as the reason for a recent upgrade), probably won't be as beneficial after all. The firm now believes that related exemptions will be given to institutions with completion rates under 50% (in contrast to the company's previous note which estimated 50% exactly).
