Ryan MacDonald has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to Nerdy’s evolving business model and growth prospects. He highlights management’s comprehensive revamp of the company’s technology platform, which he believes materially enhances Nerdy’s ability to deliver personalized, scalable learning experiences and to innovate more rapidly. This upgraded platform is viewed as a key competitive advantage that can support better user engagement, improved monetization, and operational efficiency over time.
MacDonald also points to Nerdy’s positioning for profitable expansion in its consumer segment, where the company appears set up to grow while maintaining a disciplined approach to costs and margins. In addition, he sees meaningful upside from the institutional side of the business, as partnerships with schools, districts, and other organizations represent an incremental, higher-visibility revenue stream. Taken together, these drivers underpin his conviction that Nerdy can simultaneously grow and progress toward stronger profitability, warranting a Buy rating on the stock.
