Given the current price of $37.67 and the recent earnings miss with a reported loss of $3.63 per share, it may be prudent to hold off on buying Scholastic Corp. The stock has a forward P/E of 22.17, indicating potential overvaluation, and the RSI is at 45.54, suggesting it is neither overbought nor oversold. The recent acquisition of Cottage Door Press for $71 million could provide future growth, but the uncertainty around profitability limits the immediate buy recommendation.
