Roller-Coaster Ride Continues for Pearson Into Q3

Weakness in sales growth continued into the third quarter for Pearson, albeit with some improvement in September. However, the firm's business model is highly seasonal, with full-year results heavily dependent on the fourth quarter. Increased cost-savings targets offset some of this trading weakness; thus, we do not expect to make any material changes to our forecast for the full year. We retain our GBX 950 fair value estimate and our narrow moat rating.
Pearson generates almost two thirds of it...
