$COUR I went to the website of vectorlearn (https://t.co/T8MyEtq5uW) and here is what it says: So they will collaborate closely with COUR and Udemy to create personalized learning with a 100m investment based on a valuation of 300m but who decided it was worth 300m? Also, is this kind of just like investing in R&D since they are collaboratng? This is a nice way for $COUR to not show increased expenses, and also not to show "capex" or "acquistion costs". If had factored this in as an additional expense then their earnings are even lower than i thought

i am short $cour -- in the worst case it feels like they should trade at a small discount to their net cash. in the best case, the stock probably does not really do much. interesting even as a case study about large net cash position with a melting ice cube operating business, massive SBC, a big merger, a very low "p/e" the p/e is a bit of an illusion with SBC and a purchase accounting benefit they add back to show good "adj ebitda" margins. by my estimate the business is on track to make -.15/sh of real earnings. if this is true, i also estimate they need to find 45-60m of cost savings to simply break even. this is while NRR for enterprise is consistently collapsing and consumer subscriptions are generating revenues at something like 25% the rate at which they are growing. so maybe they get their deal synergies and get to +.15/sh but how long does that take and it still seems like something has been going wrong with their core business for a while now. linkedin certifications seem pretty solid. for google certifications i think you can just go direct. also the consumer business seems focused on industry certifications, which it seems the big platforms like google is providing at better terms than coursera but have historically partnered with coursera. interesting tug of war there
