Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 44% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published April 16, 2026
Near-term earnings on April 23 creates a clear event that can move the stock over the next 0-3 months. Recent operating performance has been strong, which supports that move. Caution is warranted because the price is already extended and it is unclear how the company will grow after the upcoming report.
Primary drivers
- April earnings could confirm the recent positive operating trend
- Large cash reserves help the company handle market swings
- Recovering demand for education supports core revenue
- A clear event date can draw short-term, event-focused interest
