Coursera stock rating reiterated at Sell by Goldman Sachs after Q3 results

Investing.com - Goldman Sachs has reiterated its Sell rating and $9.00 price target on Coursera Inc (NYSE:COUR), currently trading at $10.56, following the education technology company’s third-quarter 2025 earnings report. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears undervalued based on its Fair Value calculation, despite showing a 30% gain over the past six months.

The firm noted that Coursera delivered revenue and adjusted EBITDA results that exceeded prior guidance, with particular strength in the consumer segment. With a healthy gross margin of 54.3% and revenue growth of 7.1%, the company has demonstrated solid financial management.

Goldman Sachs highlighted Coursera’s continued focus on artificial intelligence initiatives, including its recently announced OpenAI partnership and the growing AI learning experience across consumer and enterprise segments. The company views AI as a potential driver across numerous products in coming years.

The research note mentioned that Coursera’s enterprise business has not outperformed expectations amid a subdued corporate spending environment, though new enterprise leadership is now in place for 2026.

Goldman Sachs expects investors will remain focused on Coursera’s revenue progression, particularly any leverage from AI initiatives, and how product and platform developments might sustain or reaccelerate growth deeper into 2026.
