China Online Education Group ( (COE) ) has provided an update.

On March 27, 2026, Singapore-based 51Talk Online Education Group reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2025, highlighting rapid top-line expansion driven by its global English-learning platform. Full-year 2025 gross billings jumped 83.4% to US$127.6 million and net revenues surged 88.6% to US$95.6 million, while active students climbed 79.3% to about 170,300 and operating cash inflow reached US$11.8 million, underscoring strong scale and cash generation even as profitability remains out of reach.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, net revenues nearly doubled year on year to US$30.6 million and active students rose 70.8% to about 126,700, but aggressive spending pressured margins and widened losses. Cost of revenues and operating expenses more than doubled on higher teacher incentives and intensified marketing and branding, driving a larger operating loss of US$5.2 million and a net loss of US$6.5 million, as management framed 2025 as a transformational year and signaled continued investment in platform, tutors and AI to support global expansion and progress toward profitability.

The most recent analyst rating on (COE) stock is a Hold with a $24.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Online Education Group stock, see the COE Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on COE Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, COE is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak technicals (price below all major moving averages and negative MACD) and below-average financial strength due to ongoing losses and negative equity, despite strong revenue rebound and improving cash flow. Valuation is also constrained by negative earnings and no dividend data.
