Ryan MacDonald has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Coursera’s strong performance in the third quarter of 2025, which exceeded market expectations. Despite a slightly negative initial market reaction due to lower than expected fourth-quarter EBITDA guidance, Coursera’s strategy to reinvest its year-to-date outperformance is aimed at driving growth in fiscal year 2026.
Moreover, Coursera’s enterprise segment shows resilience, particularly with Coursera for Campus performing well despite a challenging spending environment. The Consumer segment is also experiencing accelerated growth, which supports the potential for revenue to surpass consensus expectations. Additionally, the introduction of a new platform fee is anticipated to enhance gross margin expansion in the upcoming fiscal year, further justifying the Buy rating.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 49 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of COUR in relation to earlier this year.
