The online-education sector took a beating over the past 12 months. Unfortunately this stock is clumped in that “sector” and has suffered as well, even though it has a solid history and different product focus.
The better-known online-education stocks are “story”-stocks that were hyped heavily, and disappointed investors greatly with inflated numbers and subsequent audits. When they got hit, BBBB got sucked down with them.
Looking into buying some. Dont own any yet. |
