Stephen Sheldon has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Coursera’s acquisition of Udemy and the strategic opportunities it unlocks. He views the combined platform as enhancing the overall business model by marrying Coursera’s and Udemy’s respective strengths across consumer and enterprise learning, which should better position the company to capture share in a large and growing addressable market.
Sheldon also highlights management’s intention to implement a significant share repurchase program, signaling confidence in the company’s valuation and future cash generation. While Udemy’s recent results were mixed, he sees some of the weakness as deal-related noise and believes that integration synergies, recurring revenue initiatives, and a more diversified revenue base can drive improved profitability and long-term growth, supporting a positive view on the stock.
