Coursera price target lowered to $7 from $9 at UBS

UBS analyst Taylor McGinnis lowered the firm’s price target on Coursera (COUR) to $7 from $9 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The outlook remains centered on the proposed Udemy (UDMY) acquisition, which is expected to close in 2H26 and offers a compelling strategic case for stronger growth durability and incremental profitability, though uncertainty around execution and potential disruption from the merger tempers near-term confidence, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
