Spark’s Take on MH Stock

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

The score is held back primarily by financial risk and profitability concerns, especially high leverage and negative net margin. Offsetting factors include encouraging earnings-call momentum (raised guidance, strong digital/Higher Ed trends, improving adjusted EBITDA) and supportive technicals, while valuation remains a drag due to a negative P/E.
