Pearson Expects Mid-Single Digit Revenue Growth Over Medium Term

Company FY26 Guidance: Low to Mid-Single Digit Growth
FY26 Guidance: The company said, "For Underlying Revenue Growth: Assessment & Qualifications: Low to mid-single digit growth, driven by new contracts, products and pricing. Virtual Learning: Stronger growth than 2025 driven by a full year of enrolment growth. Higher Education: Will grow more than 2025, supported by continued product and platform innovation, pricing and Inclusive Access in our core US courseware business, with improvement in the K12 channel. English Language Learning: Institutional is expected to grow, driven by market share gains and pricing. PTE is expected to decline given the challenging market backdrop. We expect the business unit to return to growth in Q4. Enterprise Learning & Skills: Growth to be driven by a solid performance in Vocational Qualifications and strategic account growth in Enterprise Solutions."

Company Expects Mid-Single Digit Revenue Growth for 2026
The company said, "For 2026, we expect to deliver mid-single digit underlying revenue growth, adjusted operating profit of GBP 640M-GBP 685M at FX rates as at the end of 2025, including the impact of the 2025 product development impairment, and free cash flow conversion of 90%-100%."
Pearson Reports 2% Revenue Growth in Q2
The company said, "Assessment & Qualifications returned to growth in Q2 as expected, with H1 revenue up 2%, driven by a strong performance in Clinical Assessment and growth in Pearson Professional Assessments and UK & International Qualifications, partially offset by a decline in US Student Assessment impacted by the previously disclosed loss of the New Jersey contract. Virtual Learning revenue grew 19%, reflecting strong enrolment momentum in the 2025/2026 academic year, with enrolment growth accelerating to 15% in the Spring semester, alongside funding growth and favourable mix. Higher Education revenue grew 2%, driven by a solid performance in core US Courseware and a return to growth in K12. This was partially offset by a decline in International Higher Education due to challenging trading conditions in mature markets. Inclusive Access growth increased to 20% and now represents 50% of the core US Courseware business. English Language Learning revenue declined 3%, with growth in Institutional more than offset by Pearson Test of English, where market conditions have become more difficult. Despite these conditions, we outperformed the market and remain confident in the long-term attractiveness of the business, although we expect market headwinds to persist in the near term. Enterprise Learning & Skills revenue grew 7%, with another solid performance in Vocational Qualifications and strong growth in Enterprise Solutions driven by the monetisation of our strategic partnerships."
