Udemy Inc. saw a significant price increase of 30.91%, crossing above the 5-day SMA, amid positive market conditions with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.43% and the S&P 500 up 0.32%.
This surge is attributed to Udemy's partnership with LG CNS, a leading AI transformation company in Korea, which aims to enhance Udemy's market share in the corporate learning sector. The collaboration leverages LG CNS's extensive distribution network to penetrate the corporate learning market in Korea, addressing the skills gap and boosting productivity for organizations.
The implications of this partnership are substantial, as it not only accelerates Udemy's AI skills training in Korea but also positions the company for further expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, solidifying its leadership in AI-powered workforce development solutions.

Overweight -> Equal Weight
Reason
Morgan Stanley downgraded Coursera (COUR) to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of $11, up from $10. Coursera now trades at a premium valuation versus Udemy (UDMY), the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm lacks confidence the valuation gap will meaningfully increase, leading it to move both stocks to Equal Weight. Morgan Stanley prefers Coursera in education software, but sees more attractive risk/reward elsewhere in its coverage.

Reason
Truist downgraded Udemy to Hold from Buy with a price target of $7, down from $10. The firm has lowered revenue estimates and is "meaningfully below" the Street on profits given the company's combination of large enterprise and international exposure, coupled with what it believes is likely the more discretionary nature around spending on online learning and upskilling efforts, the analyst tells investors. The firm also cites the company's recent CEO transition development.
