Slow Progress Has This Growth Stock Lowering Expectations for 2022
Chegg (NYSE: CHGG) reported first-quarter 2022 results after the markets closed on Monday, May 2. The education technology company saw its growth rate decline to just 2% in the first quarter ended in March.
The pandemic's start fueled revenue and engagement as millions of students learned remotely, and on-campus support services like tutoring were paused. As colleges started bringing students back in person, some balked at the idea of crowded classrooms with a potentially deadly virus still circulating. The fall in enrollment decreases demand for support services like Chegg, and it's creating a headwind for 2022.
