AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

EDU is shifting from a simple “cheap rebound” to a more credible margin-expansion story, with accelerating revenue and strong operating leverage, but the market is not yet rewarding it because overseas weakness, lumpy cash flow, and weak price action are still clouding the quality and durability of the turnaround. The key takeaway is to watch whether domestic cross-selling and margin gains can offset the drag from international segments and push the stock back above the mid-50s resistance range to confirm the rerating.
