On January 28, 2026, New Oriental reported unaudited results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, covering the period ended November 30, 2025, showing a sharp acceleration in growth and profitability.

Executives emphasized disciplined capacity expansion, cost optimization, AI integration into teaching and operations, and the roll-out of a cross-departmental customer service system to improve loyalty and lifetime value, while subsidiary East Buy broadened its product portfolio and offline footprint, reinforcing New Oriental’s post-regulatory transformation and strengthening its competitive position in China’s evolving education and consumer sectors.

Spark’s Take on EDU Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EDU is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance and a constructive earnings update (raised guidance, significant profitability/margin expansion, and strong cash generation). Offsetting factors include only neutral-to-mixed technical momentum and a valuation that is reasonable but not clearly cheap, with some operating-risk callouts (overseas softness and higher G&A/share-based compensation).
