Company overview
Coursera, Inc. operates an online learning platform offering education and skills training globally. It provides guided projects, courses, degrees, diplomas, and certificates across various domains through its platform for individuals, businesses, and institutions. The company was incorporated in 2011 and is headquartered in Mountain View, California.
Fundamental
goodCoursera shows steady revenue growth and strong liquidity, though profitability and integration remain challenges.
Coursera has grown to $757.5M of FY2025 revenue (+9% YoY) and is nearing EBITDA breakeven, while producing positive operating cash flow and free cash flow. The balance sheet is extremely liquid (about $790M cash, minimal debt), creating a very low enterprise value (EV/Sales ~0.24x) and a positive trailing free-cash-flow yield (~8.62%). Key risks are continued GAAP losses (TTM net margin ~-8%), dilution from high stock-based compensation, a sub-1.8 Altman Z-score, and integration execution risk following the Udemy merger (8-K filed 2026-06-23). Overall: attractive, liquidity-backed value with improving fundamentals, but still a profitability/integration story (fundamentalScore 4/5).
Sentiment
fairMedia tone is neutral with no immediate catalysts, and retail sentiment is indeterminate.
Near-term newsflow is light with a neutral tone (recent items largely focused on post-merger investor communication/analyst framing), while the 30–90d baseline skewed modestly more positive on the Udemy-merger/AI-skills narrative (delta: mildly cooling). Legal checks show only plaintiff-law-firm marketing (no regulator confirmation) and no other red flags, but the lack of a clearly dated catalyst in the next 1–30 trading days keeps the setup low-conviction.
Technical
fairShort-term technicals are bullish above support, but trend strength is weak with the 200-day average overhead.
COUR flipped short-term constructive after the 2026-06-24 high-volume expansion day and is still holding above its 20/50-day averages plus the 9/21-day EMAs. Momentum has turned positive, but the stock remains below the 200-day average and ADX is only 11.58, so conviction is moderate rather than aggressive.
