A 1.5 Million trade... The big buyers and sellers really like to shift this stock around

Nice finish

On the whole the half year results from Pearson in JULY 2020 look quite good:


The outlook appears good:

2020 outlook - anticipate recovery but uncertainty remains

· Global Online Learning - will benefit from higher Virtual Schools revenue following strong growth in applications with OPM in line with expectations.

· Global Assessment - Pearson VUE recovery is expected through the delivery of pent-up demand, assuming test centres remain open; potential further modest impact in H2 for US Student Assessment and US Clinical Assessment.

· North American Courseware - continuing print declines and modest digital growth, uncertainty on enrolments, and school closures which could impact our Advanced Placement sales.

· International - H2 is expected to recover as lockdowns ease and schools, private language schools and test centres reopen. The UK Government has now approved Pearson to open bookings and start delivering Secure English Language Tests (SELT) for UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI).

· We now expect our full year net interest charge to be c.£60m after issuing a 10-year Education Bond of £350m in June 2020.

· At this stage, it remains difficult to predict the ultimate disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Pearson's performance for the full year. However, the second quarter performed in line with our expectations and, while risks remain, particularly around enrolments in the back to school period and local lockdowns impacting schools reopenings, based on our current assessment of these trends we are on track to deliver adjusted operating profit broadly consistent with market expectations.

Looking a bit better now

[netcurtains] 08/9/2020 11:55

Interesting price to enter- RSI increasing. Trend might be reversing.

Price was up this morning so possible chance might retrace to this mornings price.

Mmm still going down.... Perhaps a bit longer

[netcurtains] 07/9/2020 11:15

Price up but still very low RSI

[netcurtains] 05/9/2020 11:26

Thanks for posting Little Beaker that is really useful stuff for investors to know...

However I still like the fact that the RSI is miles down and thus this company is (in short term) miles over sold...come on rsi of about 9 or 10.... Average is about 50

[netcurtains] 02/9/2020 16:17

RSI now in the high teens - must be most unloved share on the FTSE100 lol

[netcurtains] 01/9/2020 15:44

Well first day back at school - no disasters appeared to have happened.
Share price should theoretically rise (one would have thought)

[netcurtains] 28/8/2020 07:53

Dow Futures still up this morning - sometimes this means FTSE opens up... But no idea really.

Back to school - globally....
Who you going to call?

PEARSON...

Lets see what Pearson can do this September as everyone goes back to school or university

[netcurtains] 25/8/2020 15:51

Well I called that wrong (LOL - see above)...
But still the new CEO is based on the USA (California?) so we're now at the centre of things...(Main business is in USA)

[netcurtains] 25/8/2020 08:06

Can see this finishing about 601-605 to give new CEO a nice start

[netcurtains] 21/8/2020 10:14

Come on it makes far more sense for a young person to spend a few years in education rather than be on the dole. This is the year people should be getting education. And pearson is the company to do it.

If covid vaccine by October University sector will be booming again (one assumes) as better to study then be unemployed.

[netcurtains] 18/8/2020 12:18

Looks like the western world is quite likely to have a lot more students at university this year. This "boom" in numbers is obviously very good for Pearson

[netcurtains] 14/8/2020 15:36

Dont like to say this but EXAM RESITS are probably good for Pearson.

[netcurtains] 13/8/2020 17:04

Again a nice big finish

[netcurtains] 12/8/2020 20:40

12-Aug-20 16:35:13 quantity: 1,062,987 Buy* value: £7m
(it wasn't me)

[netcurtains] 12/8/2020 14:47

Possibly Pearson will make more money than normal this autumn from exam resits.
Apparently government setting aside a few million for this

[netcurtains] 11/8/2020 09:20

DING DONG!
