The company has a P/E ratio of 18.2, above the average diversified services industry P/E ratio of 16.8 and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 23.2.

TheStreet Ratings rates Grand Canyon as hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year. You can view the full Grand Canyon Ratings Report.
