On February 13, 2026, Chegg, Inc. entered into a privately negotiated agreement to repurchase $20.0 million in principal amount of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 for a cash price of $19.4 million. The transaction, part of Chegg’s existing securities repurchase program, is expected to close on February 20, 2026, leaving $33.9 million of these notes outstanding and $122.4 million still available under the repurchase authorization.

Spark’s Take on CHGG Stock

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

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (declining revenue, losses, and negative 2025 free cash flow) and bearish technicals (below major moving averages with negative MACD). The latest earnings call provides partial support via cost-cutting and skilling growth targets, but near-term cash and listing risks keep the overall outlook cautious.
