The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is set at $129.2 million, implying a 2.3% decline from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
Per Trading Economics, the U.S. annual inflation rate stayed at 2.7% in June and July, up from 2.4% in May. Despite the stable inflation rate over these two months, the widespread implementation of tariffs may raise the cost of goods sold, potentially increasing inflation in the United States. This may lead the government to reduce spending. Banking on this macroeconomic headwind, we expect the Global Knowledge segment to have witnessed a decline in revenues due to declining U.S. public sector discretionary live learning spending.
We are bullish on SKIL’s Talent Development Solutions segment to have registered a revenue hike, counting on the robust AI capabilities facilitating differentiation and strong learner engagement. The launch of the Percipio certification dashboard and Codecademy is likely to bear fruit in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
The consensus estimate for the loss is pegged at $ 2.10 per share, whereas it incurred a loss of $2.40 in the year-ago quarter.
What Our Model Says About SKIL
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Skillsoft this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
