Shares of Skillsoft fell after the company cut its outlook and reported lower revenue in the second quarter.
Shares tumbled 12% to $5.62 in after-hours trading, after closing down 4.5% at $6.37. Through the close, the stock had fallen 32% this year.
The education-software company on Wednesday said it now expects revenue in fiscal 2027 of between $380 million and $390 million. It previously guided for a range of $388 million to $406 million.
"Our enterprise business continues to perform as planned, while accelerating pressure in the consumer business is reflected in our revised fiscal 2027 revenue outlook," Chief Financial Officer Ron Kisling said.
