Description: EDU New Oriental Education

New Oriental Education & Technology Group (NYSE: EDU) is a Chinese provider of private educational services, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Beijing. The company operates through four main segments: Educational Services and Test Preparation Courses; Private Label Products and Livestreaming E-Commerce; Overseas Study Consulting Services; and Educational Materials and Distribution.

Its core offerings include test preparation courses for language and university entrance exams used in the United States, Commonwealth countries, and China, alongside non-academic tutoring, intelligent learning systems and devices, and overseas study consulting. The company delivers its programs through schools, learning centers, bookstores, and online platforms, including its Koolearn.com online education service.

Listed on the NYSE since 2006, EDU is classified within the Consumer Discretionary sector under the Education Services sub-industry. Chinas private K-12 and tutoring sector has faced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years, including restrictions on after-school tutoring that have reshaped how education providers operate. New Orientals diversification into livestreaming e-commerce and overseas study consulting reflects a strategic pivot in response to these evolving market conditions.
