Merger Fairness Investigation: Halper Sadeh LLC is investigating whether the merger between Coursera and Udemy is fair to Coursera shareholders, with shareholders expected to own approximately 59% of the combined entity, potentially impacting shareholder rights and investment returns.
Legal Accountability Review: The investigation focuses on whether Coursera's board violated federal securities laws and their fiduciary duties by failing to secure the best possible terms for shareholders, which may expose them to risks of information asymmetry.
Shareholder Rights Protection: Halper Sadeh may seek increased consideration and additional disclosures on behalf of Coursera shareholders to ensure they can adequately assess the merger's value, thereby enhancing trust in corporate governance.
Legal Fee Arrangement: The firm will handle the case on a contingency fee basis, meaning shareholders will not be responsible for upfront legal costs, which reduces the financial burden on shareholders wishing to pursue legal action.

Reason
As previously reported, BofA analyst Nafeesa Gupta upgraded Coursera to Neutral from Underperform with a price target of $12, up from $7, following a Q3 beat and management raising FY25 guidance. Following the beat and raise report, the firm increased multiples given a stronger growth outlook and margin potential, while also factoring in some market led multiple re-rating on reduced macro and tariff uncertainty, but argues that the after-hours price of $11 prices in upside.

Equal Weight
Reason
Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on Coursera to $12 from $11 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares after Q2 results "easily beat" expectations and FY25 guidance was raised by more than the Q2 beat. Improving growth is "encouraging" and lowers the odds of downside, but it is likely too soon for investors to get onboard with a bull case, the analyst argues in a post-earnings note.
