What This Transaction Means For Investors

Monument Capital Management, a financial advisory firm, recently liquidated its entire stake in Grand Canyon Education stock during the fourth quarter of 2025 (the three months ending on Dec. 31, 2025). Here’s what investors need to know about this sale and Grand Canyon stock in particular.

First off, Monument’s sale of Grand Canyon stock comes at an interesting time for the company and the stock. Grand Canyon has long been a strong stock within the overall market, having posted a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1% over the last five years. However, in recent weeks, shares have tumbled following a disappointing third-quarter earnings report driven by soaring litigation reserves relating to ongoing lawsuits over compensation practices.

Nonetheless, Grand Canyon remains a robust growth stock, with quarterly revenue growth of 10%. Therefore, growth-oriented investors might view this most recent pullback as an opportunity to buy the dip on this stock — if they’re willing to accept some risk and volatility that its recent legal troubles have introduced.
