Where COUR is headed
Coursera at $4.94 is being priced as a dying MOOC business. The financials say something very different. Revenue grew 59.6% TTM, free cash flow hit $366M against a $1.4B market cap (a 26% FCF yield), and next-year revenue growth is estimated at 89.5%. A company doesn't generate numbers like that while dying. It generates them while quietly turning into something else.
