Stephen Sheldon has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to McGraw Hill’s strategic positioning and leadership. He highlights that new CEO Philip Moyer, who joined in early 2026 with a strong technology pedigree from companies such as Vimeo, Google, and Amazon, has quickly developed a deep understanding of both McGraw Hill’s operations and the broader education landscape, and is now engaging directly with customers to map solutions to real-world educator challenges.
Moyer’s view that AI will reward companies with proprietary data, integrated workflows, and trusted relationships aligns well with McGraw Hill’s strengths, including its large base of 26 million learners and 19 billion annual learning interactions. Sheldon also underscores the company’s practical AI deployment through tools like Evergreen for automated content updates, Scribe for faster and cheaper content creation, and MH Plus for longitudinal learner records, all of which support better retention, operational efficiency, and long-term growth, reinforcing his positive stance on the stock.
In another report released on February 12, BMO Capital also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $19.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 6 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of MH in relation to earlier this year.
