Chegg's 2025 Revenue Plummets 39% to $376.9M, Reports $(0.96) EPS Amid AI-Driven Subscription Decline
CHGG sits 46% above its 52-week low of $0.44 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
Chegg reported its fiscal 2025 full-year results, revealing a substantial 39% year-over-year decline in net revenues to $376.9 million and a net loss per share of $(0.96). The significant revenue contraction was primarily driven by a 43% drop in Academic Services subscriptions, which the company attributes to the negative impact of Google's AI Overviews and the broader adoption of generative AI. Despite an improvement in net loss compared to the prior year, the core business faces severe headwinds, necessitating workforce reductions and office closures, resulting in $51.5 million in restructuring charges. While the company is strategically repositioning towards its 'skilling' segment, which now represents 18% of revenue, the overall financial performance indicates a challenging competitive landscape. Traders will closely watch the efficacy of Chegg's strategic shift and its ability to mitigate ongoing subscriber losses in its academic segment.
