What is happening

Recent company-specific developments and publisher coverage.

July 18, 2026McGraw Hill edged lower as investors navigate a challenging backdrop for the stock, which remains well below its 50-day average of $11.00 and 200-day average of $12.92 despite broadly positive analyst sentiment. Recent analyst activity has seen BMO Capital cut its price target to $16 (from $19) while maintaining an Outperform rating, citing lengthening purchase cycles as a modest headwind to top-line growth, while the consensus target of $18.47 implies substantial upside from current levels. Attention is turning to the company's August 13 fiscal Q1 earnings webcast, with investors watching for signs that McGraw Hill's digital education transition and AI-powered product expansion—including its ALEKS platform—can support re-acceleration.

-0.7165

July 16, 2026McGraw Hill gained after investors weighed analyst commentary and an upcoming earnings catalyst. BMO Capital recently trimmed its price target to $16 from $19 (maintaining Outperform), citing lengthening purchase cycles, while Goldman Sachs holds a Buy rating with a $17 target, noting solid FY26 results with revenue and EBITDA margins beating estimates and above-Street FY27 guidance. The company also announced fiscal Q1 2027 results will be reported on August 13, keeping investors focused on its digital migration progress amid a broadly softening consumer defensive sector.

2.0899

July 16, 2026McGraw Hill shares tumbled roughly 5% on Wednesday, underperforming the broader market and education peers, as Anthropic's launch of a free AI platform for K-12 teachers (Claude for Teachers) intensified competitive concerns in the edtech space — a headwind that also weighed on peer Strategic Education, which fell 8.1% on the day. The selloff came despite a Moderate Buy consensus among analysts with an average price target of $18.47 — a wide gap to current levels — and an upcoming fiscal Q1 2027 earnings webcast set for August 13, which may provide investors with the next meaningful catalyst.

-5.0595

July 15, 2026McGraw Hill shares declined sharply, closing down over 4% on notably elevated volume — roughly double the average — as the company announced it will hold an earnings webcast on August 13 for its fiscal Q1 2027 results. The selloff comes despite a broadly positive analyst backdrop, including a recent Wall Street Zen upgrade to Buy, a Moderate Buy consensus with an average price target of $18.47, and a Q1 earnings beat ($0.32 vs. $0.15 expected), suggesting the move may reflect broader market caution amid Iran-driven oil shocks, Fed rate hike uncertainty, and rotation out of defensive consumer names.

-4.1825

July 14, 2026McGraw Hill surged over 7% — significantly outperforming the broader market, which declined amid U.S.-Iran tensions and a chip selloff — as investor sentiment improved following a Wall Street Zen upgrade to Buy and a favorable analyst backdrop. The company's consensus rating stands at Moderate Buy with an average price target of $18.47, well above current trading levels, and McGraw Hill's recent Q1 earnings beat ($0.32 vs. $0.15 expected) reinforced the bull case for the education-focused learning platform.

7.1283

July 9, 2026McGraw Hill closed essentially unchanged as analysts maintain a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating with an average 12-month price target of $18.47 — roughly double current levels — even as several firms including BMO Capital, Morgan Stanley, and Robert W. Baird recently trimmed their price targets citing macro headwinds. The stock continues to trade near its 52-week low despite a strong Q1 earnings beat ($0.32 vs. $0.15 estimated), with broader market uncertainty around geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices from the U.S.-Iran conflict adding pressure on investor sentiment across the education sector.

-0.101

July 9, 2026McGraw Hill shares tumbled around 5% amid a broader risk-off session triggered by renewed U.S.-Iran military exchanges that collapsed the interim peace framework, sending oil prices surging and rattling equity markets. Compounding company-specific pressure, BMO Capital analyst Jeffrey Silber cut his price target on McGraw Hill to $16 from $19 — while maintaining an Outperform rating — citing a more cautious outlook. Despite the sector offering a partial haven on Tuesday as consumer staples rallied against the broader decline, McGraw Hill diverged from peers and sold off sharply on Wednesday. In after-hours trading, shares are recovering modestly, up around 1.5% to $10.05.

-5.3537

July 6, 2026McGraw Hill edged higher, closing up modestly as its Consumer Defensive classification aligned with a broader market rotation into defensive sectors amid investor caution over Fed rate policy and mixed economic signals. Volume ran nearly double the average, suggesting heightened investor interest. BMO Capital maintains an Outperform rating on the stock, though it recently lowered its price target from $19 to $16, reflecting tempered near-term expectations. The week's macro backdrop — including upcoming Fed minutes and the start of Q2 earnings season — adds uncertainty, while the education sector broadly faces scrutiny as peers like Lincoln Educational Services and Pearson navigate digital transformation and enrollment trends.
