Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 54 days.
The thesis — published December 5, 2025
This is a risky, short-term rebound idea in Chinese education. Some momentum signs suggest a possible bounce, but other momentum measures are still negative and government policy risk is real. A recent analyst noted a competitor looks cheaper, so the stock is not a clear bargain. Any recovery over the next three months should be small and position sizes kept low and monitored closely.
Primary drivers
- Stock looks oversold, so a bounce is possible
- Company is restructuring after strict tutoring rules
- Analyst notes competitor may offer better value
- Ongoing policy uncertainty keeps conviction low
