What the Analysts think about Scholastic
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Scholastic stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Scholastic stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Scholastic affirmed its fiscal 2027 outlook for revenue growth of 2%–4% and adjusted EBITDA of $135–$145 million, with free cash flow of $35–$40 million. That points to a recovery if its planned growth and cost measures deliver. (Scholastic)
Book Fairs revenue rose 5% to $576 million in fiscal 2026, and bookings for the key fall season were ahead of the prior year. This gives Scholastic a sizeable school-based channel with encouraging near-term momentum. (Scholastic, Scholastic)
Entertainment revenue rose 48% to $20.1 million in the first quarter, driven by higher production deliveries and services, while operating profitability improved. A growing production pipeline could help Scholastic earn more from its established stories and characters. (Scholastic)
Education remains a major drag: first-quarter revenue fell 24% to $30.4 million as schools and districts restrained spending, and the segment’s operating loss widened to $23.3 million. Continued budget pressure makes a quick recovery uncertain. (Scholastic)
Group revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, while the net loss per share widened to $3.77 from $2.83 a year earlier. The weak start leaves the full-year growth outlook reliant on a stronger performance in the more important selling seasons. (SEC)
Book Fairs growth has not lifted every core book channel: fiscal 2026 Book Clubs revenue fell 11% to $57.1 million, while Trade revenue fell 6% to $331.1 million. Lower participation and reliance on successful new titles leave results exposed when launches or publishing comparisons are less favourable. (Scholastic, SEC)
