Description: COUR Coursera

Coursera Inc, listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol COUR, operates within the Education Services sub-industry as classified by the GICS. The companys business model is centered around providing online education services, making it a key player in the ed-tech sector.

To evaluate Courseras financial health and stock performance, several key performance indicators (KPIs) are crucial. The market capitalization stands at approximately $2.024 billion, indicating a significant presence in the market. The forward Price-to-Earnings ratio is 31.55, suggesting that investors are willing to pay $31.55 for every dollar of earnings Coursera is expected to generate in the future. This ratio is particularly relevant in the context of growth stocks, where future earnings growth is anticipated.

The Return on Equity (RoE) is negative at -8.38%, indicating that Coursera is currently not generating profits from shareholders equity. This is a critical metric for investors, as a negative RoE can signal underlying issues with the companys ability to generate earnings. However, its also worth noting that many growth companies, especially in the tech and ed-tech sectors, often reinvest their earnings into the business, potentially leading to a negative RoE in the short term.

Courseras key economic drivers include the increasing demand for online education, the global penetration of digital technologies, and the growing need for skills retraining and upskilling. The ed-tech sector is highly competitive, with numerous players competing for market share. Courseras ability to differentiate itself through its platform, content offerings, and partnerships will be crucial to its long-term success.

From a trading perspective, understanding Courseras stock volatility and market sentiment is essential. The Average True Range (ATR) indicates the stocks volatility, with a higher ATR signifying greater price movements. Courseras beta of 1.412 suggests that its stock price is more volatile than the overall market, which can be a consideration for risk-averse investors.
