Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on January 13, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 40% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 15, 2025
New Oriental may see a short-term move because many investors are preparing for the Oct 28 earnings report. The recent average price trend looks better and there is lots more buying than usual, which helps even if other signals are mixed. Recent company filings and the date news shape expectations, while the AI-in-education story adds support. China policy risks remain, but momentum could last for the next 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- Oct 28 earnings date may trigger a sharp, short-term move in shares
- Improving recent average price and lots more buyers than usual
- Rising interest in AI tools for learning boosts investor attention
- Early buying before results helps keep demand firm into earnings
How it played out
EDU: target was not reached in the window
Lyra published EDU at 55.31 on 2025-10-15 with a short-term thesis for 25% expected growth. The thesis pointed to the Oct 28 earnings date, a better recent average price trend, unusually heavy buying, interest in artificial intelligence tools for learning, and early demand before results. China policy risk was still named as a concern.
Inside the window, EDU rose but did not reach the 68.38 target. The stock peaked at 60.88 on 2025-10-27, with a 10.1% peak gain. It never got there. By 2026-01-13, EDU ended at 57.71. The thesis partially played out on direction, but missed the published target.
