Coursera (COUR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Coursera (COUR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Coursera is well-positioned for long-term success due to its diverse revenue streams, strong brand recognition, and increasing demand for online learning. With a focus on affordability and accessibility, the company has seen consistent growth in its consumer segment, adding 7.6 million learners in Q1 and reporting its 22nd consecutive quarter of 5 million+ learner adds. While its enterprise segment faces headwinds from Udemy's transactional business, with management expecting declines to persist through FY26 and FY27, the acquisition of Udemy also presents opportunities for improving gross margins and a more attractive consumer business model. The combination of broader content offerings, enhanced platform capabilities, and a more seamless enterprise experience should support more durable growth and strengthen Coursera's competitive positioning in the online learning market. Additionally, the pandemic has created lasting tailwinds for the company, especially in higher education, with the potential for more fully online degrees in the future. Despite potential headwinds from new regulatory changes in the OPM market, we believe Coursera's multi-segmented approach creates a sustainable economic moat and presents a powerful flywheel effect for continued growth. Overall, we reiterate our Buy rating and $10 price target on COUR, with its strong growth potential and recent post-merger
Bears say
Coursera is facing headwinds in their consumer segment, which is a major revenue driver for the company, due to limited renewal activity in FY26 and potential consolidation among customers. Additionally, changes to data privacy regulations could negatively impact the company's business model, with potential increases in customer acquisition costs and revenue dis-synergies. While the acquisition of UDMY presents opportunities for growth, any failure in attracting and retaining recognizable university and corporate partners could harm Coursera's value proposition, resulting in revenue headwinds.
