  • Coursera's CEO, Greg Hart, highlighted renewed focus and faster execution, leading to an increased full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $750-$754 million (8%-9% year-over-year growth) and an 8% EBITDA margin, up from initial guidance of $720-$730 million (4% growth) and 7% EBITDA margin.
  • The company reported revenue growth of 10% year-over-year in both Q2 and Q3, with consumer revenue growing 10% in Q2 and 13% in Q3. Q3 also saw 7.7 million new registered learners, the highest since Q2/Q3 2020.
  • Strategic initiatives include accelerating product innovation and content expansion, now offering over 12,000 courses (a 44% year-over-year increase). Coursera is leveraging AI through partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic, and expects to have over 1,000 AI-dubbed courses in five languages by year-end, which have shown to contribute to 22% faster course completions.
  • While consumer growth is strong, the enterprise Net Retention Rate (NRR) declined to 89% in Q3 from 93% in Q2, with Coursera for Government being particularly challenged. The company is addressing this with new leadership and the introduction of "Skills Tracks" for workforce upskilling.
