Description: EDU New Oriental Education November 04, 2025
New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc. (NYSE: EDU) delivers private K-12 and test-preparation services under the New Oriental brand across mainland China, operating through four distinct segments: (1) Educational Services and Test-Preparation Courses, (2) Private-Label Products and Livestream-E-Commerce, (3) Overseas-Study Consulting, and (4) Educational Materials and Distribution.
The firm’s core offerings include language-exam prep (TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, SAT), non-academic tutoring, and a suite of digital learning tools delivered via its Koolearn.com platform and in-store learning centers. It also provides overseas-study advisory services and publishes proprietary textbooks and practice materials for both domestic and international curricula.
Recent data (FY 2023) show revenue of roughly $1.5 billion, with a 12% YoY decline driven largely by China’s tighter regulations on for-profit tutoring and a 6% drop in enrollment among 9-12-year-olds-a demographic segment that historically contributed ~45% of total sales. The company is pivoting toward “smart learning” hardware and livestream e-commerce, which together accounted for ~15% of FY 2023 revenue and are expected to grow at double-digit rates as Chinese parents increase spending on digital education tools. Moreover, the broader education services sector is sensitive to macro-economic factors such as household disposable income trends and government policy cycles, which can cause abrupt demand shifts. For a deeper quantitative dive, the ValueRay platform provides up-to-date metrics and scenario analyses for EDU.
