Nafeesa Gupta has given her Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Coursera’s strategic focus and market dynamics. The company is making strides in enhancing its enterprise offerings with new products like Skill Tracks and partnerships, which align learning with real-world job requirements. This shift suggests a push towards the enterprise segment, similar to competitors like Udemy, and could potentially strengthen Coursera’s position in this market.
However, the introduction of regional pricing with significant discounts, such as those in India, raises concerns about its impact on revenue growth and margins. While the focus on consumer subscriptions and enterprise segments is promising, the effect of these pricing strategies on paid learner conversion and overall profitability remains uncertain. As a result, Gupta maintains a Neutral stance, reflecting a cautious outlook despite the positive developments in Coursera’s strategy.
COUR’s price has also changed dramatically for the past six months – from $7.000 to $10.490, which is a 49.86% increase.
