Description: CHGG Chegg November 16, 2025

Chegg, Inc. (NYSE:CHGG) delivers a suite of subscription-based learning tools aimed at U.S. and international students, covering academic support (Chegg Study), writing assistance (Chegg Writing), math problem solving (Chegg Math), and a bundled “Study Pack.” The company also operates Busuu, a language-learning platform, and a skills-based marketplace that teaches technical subjects such as AI, coding, data analytics, and cybersecurity, as well as soft-skill competencies like emotional intelligence and decision-making.

Beyond digital subscriptions, Chegg continues to generate revenue from the rental and sale of print and e-textbooks and from advertising services. Its go-to-market strategy relies on direct digital channels and social-media outreach to reach both individual learners and corporate clients.

From a financial standpoint, Chegg reported FY 2023 revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, with subscription revenue growing about 12% year-over-year and a reported churn rate near 5%, indicating relatively sticky demand. The broader ed-tech sector is being driven by rising post-secondary enrollment in the U.S., accelerated digital adoption post-COVID-19, and cost-pressured students seeking affordable alternatives to traditional tutoring.

Chegg’s valuation is sensitive to macro-economic factors such as discretionary spending trends among college-age consumers and the competitive landscape from both legacy textbook publishers and newer AI-powered tutoring platforms.
