I would like to ask, if anyone in here followed the IPO of Coursera? I think, this stock did well for the last 12 months. Just the chart for the last 10 years looks horrible. What are the reasons for sales/revenues do go down for almost 10 years?

There is so silence on this stock which will move up fast in next 3 months with it's revised online strategy and new clients and partnerships. I have bought good amount of stocks at low value in last 1 week. I'm betting high on this stock and hope my analysis is correct... :-)

It's very sad to see that Pearson management is not doing any press release to update on their progress, strategy and projections.

I worked at Pearson for about 20 years, in the first US acquisition with Addison Wesley, their crown jewel. We built a company that dominated education...17 Billion. Senior management under Marjorie and Peter was outatanding. The new Pearson is clueless and rudderless, no mission and a flawed vision.

A giant waking up?...

The company is rebuilding its business by making all its learning resources "digital first". Penguin Random House from NY has bought major stake in Pearson.
Can anyone tell me why it is up? I mean... who am I asking anyway, it is just me and YF Insights bot.. Hey bot, any ideas???

I haven’t seen the stock since I own this hunk of junk 20 years ago. I just saw some ad for online earning on it underneath it said Pearson. I checked the stock and lo and behold it’s in the same stinking place it was. Probably worse. Is there a finally a reason to buy this dog?

Good to see PSO finally moving up... I have high hopes from its digital offering!
B
They still have some fairytale vision of being a technology company and getting 70% margins, but it remains content quality, delivery, structure and sequence....curriculum. They don't understand this. They sold Powerschool which was their strongest tech play....so their mission and vision are both disingenuous!

PSO... No end in sight...Where is the bottom?
B
Don't look to Pearsin for education innovation. Leadership is nonexistent. They mismanaged the transition to digital, sold off K12, sold very good assets in America, divested of Financial Times, and seem totally rudderless under Fallon. Small companies have taken over. Watch Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Cengage and smaller companies. Not a good space for investors in my view. The glory days are past.

Since Nov 1 2018 PSO has now steadily dropped by over 57%!
B
gamestop is no longer a short squeeze, but this is. Same play as before
Y
Pearson is down 5.10% to 11.54
B
this is what the wild west looked like. No structure, no maps, no direction, no strategy.....just survive another day, and get weaker....

Pearson must lose John Fallon as soon as possible. Could be a great takeover target at $15, but hopefully, new mgmt. would exclude present board members from participation. A culture of arrogance and stupidity has driven Pearson into ground, while test center employees are constantly asked to do more while benefits keep getting stripped. Can't deal with it any longer. Also. Adding cross city test centers at $50,000 and up per center was a waste of money, just for the procurement of AAMC contract. "Leadership" has it's heads up its #$%$.
