What was the year‑over‑year growth rate for revenue and how does it compare to prior quarters?

Revenue Growth – What the Numbers Tell Us

The press release for the quarter ended June 28 2025 tells us that Kinder Care’s Q2 2025 revenue was $700.1 million, but it does not disclose the year‑over‑year (Yo‑Y) growth rate or provide the prior‑year Q2 figure that would allow us to calculate it. Likewise, the release does not compare the current quarter’s growth to the growth observed in earlier quarters (Q1 2025, Q4 2024, etc.). To obtain the Yo‑Y percentage you would need the Q2 2024 revenue figure, which is typically disclosed in the full earnings release or the company’s 10‑Q filing. In the absence of that data, we can only state that the company highlighted “strong” top‑line performance but stopped short of quantifying the Yo‑Y change.

Trading Implications

Because the Yo‑Y growth rate is not disclosed in the summary, investors should look for the detailed earnings release or the 10‑Q to confirm whether revenue is accelerating, flat, or decelerating relative to prior quarters. If Yo‑Y growth turns out to be in the double‑digit range (as is typical for high‑growth early‑education operators), the stock could benefit from a positive earnings surprise and potential upside on the next earnings‑date rally. Conversely, if growth is modest (single‑digit) or down‑turning, the market could discount the current run‑up in the stock.

Actionable Steps

  1. Check the full 10‑Q (or the accompanying press release) for the Q2 2024 revenue figure and compute the Yo‑Y percentage.
  2. Compare the Yo‑Y rate with Q1 2025 (and Q4 2024) to see whether momentum is improving, flattening, or deteriorating.
  3. If Yo‑Y growth is >10 % and accelerating versus prior quarters, consider a short‑term long position on KLC, especially if the stock trades near its 50‑day moving average with bullish volume.
  4. If Yo‑Y growth is modest or declining, tighten risk—set tighter stop‑losses or wait for confirmation from upcoming guidance before adding to a position.

In short, the key to a trading decision is the actual Yo‑Y number; once you have it, pair it with the technical trend (e.g., moving‑average cross, RSI) to shape a concrete entry/exit plan.
